Comparative study of ordered and disordered Y1-xSrxCoO3-d
We have succeeded in preparing A-site ordered- and disordered-Y1/4Sr3/4CoO3-d
with various oxygen deficiencies delta, and have made comparative study of
their structural and physical properties. In the A-site ordered structure,
oxygen vacancies order, and d = 0.34 sample shows a weak ferromagnetic
transition beyond 300 K. On the other hand, in the A-site disordered structure,
no oxygen vacancy ordering is observed, and d = 0.16 sample shows a
ferromagnetic metallic transition around 150 K. A-site disordering destroys the
orderings of oxygen-vacancies and orbitals, leading to the strong modification
of the electronic phases.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, proceeding of 52nd Mangetism and Magnetic

Reduction of critical field for magnetic and orbital-ordering phase transition in impurity-substituted NdSrMnO crystal
We have investigated the Mn-site substitution effect in
NdSrMnO single crystal, which has an -type layered
antiferromagnetic (-AFM) phase with the 3-type orbital-order.
Substitution of Fe or Ga for Mn-site suppresses both the -AFM order and
competing ferromagnetic (FM) correlation whereas Cr substitution suppresses
only the -AFM order but reactivates the underlying FM correlation via
double-exchange mechanism along the AFM coupled -direction. In
NdSrMnCrO, the -AFM state with the
orbital-order is changed into the orbital-disordered three-dimensional FM
metallic state by applying magnetic field of T, which is much
smaller than that of the parent compound NdSrMnO.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to appear in APL Material
Refinement Type Inference via Horn Constraint Optimization
We propose a novel method for inferring refinement types of higher-order
functional programs. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it can
infer maximally preferred (i.e., Pareto optimal) refinement types with respect
to a user-specified preference order. The flexible optimization of refinement
types enabled by the proposed method paves the way for interesting
applications, such as inferring most-general characterization of inputs for
which a given program satisfies (or violates) a given safety (or termination)
property. Our method reduces such a type optimization problem to a Horn
constraint optimization problem by using a new refinement type system that can
flexibly reason about non-determinism in programs. Our method then solves the
constraint optimization problem by repeatedly improving a current solution
until convergence via template-based invariant generation. We have implemented
a prototype inference system based on our method, and obtained promising
results in preliminary experiments.Comment: 19 page
Cr-doping effect on the orbital fluctuation of heavily doped Nd1-xSrxMnO3 (x ~ 0.625)
We have investigated the Cr-doping effect of Nd0.375Sr0.625MnO3 near the
phase boundary between the x2-y2 and 3z2-r2 orbital ordered states, where a
ferromagnetic correlation and concomitant large magnetoresistance are observed
owing to orbital fluctuation. Cr-doping steeply suppresses the ferromagnetic
correlation and magnetoresistance in Nd0.375Sr0.625Mn1-yCryO3 with 0 < y <
0.05, while they reappear in 0.05 < y < 0.10. Such a reentrant behavior implies
that a phase boundary is located at y = 0.05, or a phase crossover occurs
across y = 0.05.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Journal of Applied Physic
Multiferroic properties of an \aa kermanite SrCoSiO single crystal in high magnetic fields
The magnetic and dielectric properties of \aa kermanite SrCoSiO
single crystals in high magnetic fields were investigated. We have observed
finite induced electric polarization along the c axis in high fields, wherein
all Co spins were forcibly aligned to the magnetic field direction. Existence
of the induced polarization in the spin-polarized state accompanied with the
finite slope in the magnetization curve suggests the possible role of the
orbital angular momenta in the excited states as its microscopic origin. The
emergence of the field-induced polarization without particular magnetic order
can be regarded as the magnetoelectric effects of the second order from the
symmetry point of view. A low magnetic field-driven electric polarization flip
induced by a rotating field, even at room temperature, has been successfully
demonstrated.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Magnetoelectric Properties of (CaSr)CoSiO Crystals
We have investigated the magnetoelectric properties of
(CaSr)CoSiO () crystals with a
quasi-two-dimensional structure. In CaCoSiO (), a canted
antiferromagnetic transition occurs at 5.6 K. The transition temperature
is increasing with increasing Sr concentration, and the rises of
the magnetization and dielectric constant become larger. Since the dielectric
constant shows large change at and the magnetocapacitance effect is
observed below , a coupling between the magnetism and dielectricity
is strong in (CaSr)CoSiO. The positive
magnetocapacitance is reduced by Sr substitution, and is not observed in . Namely, the compound of does not show the
magnetic-field-induced electric polarization. On the other hand, the negative
magnetocapacitance is enhanced by Sr substitution.Comment: 4 pages, 2figures, proceeding of International Conference on

Competition between ferromagnetic and charge-orbital ordered phases in PrCaMnO for =1/4, 3/8, and 1/2
Spin, charge, and orbital structures in models for doped manganites are
studied by a combination of analytic mean-field and numerical relaxation
techniques. At realistic values for the electron-phonon and antiferromagnetic
spin couplings, a competition between a ferromagnetic (FM) phase and a
charge-orbital ordered (COO) insulating state is found for =1/4, 3/8, and
1/2, as experimentally observed in PrCaMnO for
=0.30.5. The theoretical predictions for the spin-charge-orbital
ordering pattern are compared with experiments. The FM-COO energy difference is
surprisingly small for the densities studied, result compatible with the
presence of a robust colossal-magnetoresistive effect in
PrCaMnO in a large density interval.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, with 2 figures embedded in the text. Submitted to
