Frustration-induced eta inversion in the S=1/2 bond-alternating spin chain
We study the frustration-induced enhancement of the incommensurate
correlation for a bond-alternating quantum spin chain in a magnetic field,
which is associated with a quasi-one-dimensional organic compound F5PNN. We
investigate the temperature dependence of the staggered susceptibilities by
using the density matrix renormalization group, and then find that the
incommensurate correlation becomes dominant in a certain range of the magnetic
field. We also discuss the mechanism of this enhancement on the basis of the
mapping to the effective S=1/2 XXZ chain and a possibility of the field-induced
incommensurate long range order.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, replaced with revised version accepted to PR
Magnetic phase diagram of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic zigzag spin chain in the strongly frustrated region: cusp and plateau
We determine the magnetic phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic(AF) zigzag
spin chain in the strongly frustrated region, using the density matrix
renormalization group method. We find the magnetization plateau at 1/3 of the
full moment accompanying the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the translation,
the cusp singularities above and/or below the plateau, and the even-odd effect
in the magnetization curve. We also discuss the formation mechanisms of the
plateau and cusps briefly.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figures, revised version, to appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jp
Photoinduced charge and spin dynamics in strongly correlated electron systems
Motivated by photoinduced phase transition in manganese oxides, charge and
spin dynamics induced by photoirradiation are examined. We calculate the
transient optical absorption spectra of the extended double-exchange model by
the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. A charge-ordered
insulating (COI) state becomes metallic just after photoirradiation, and the
system tends to recover the initial COI state. The recovery is accompanied with
remarkable suppression of an antiferromagnetic correlation in the COI state.
The DMRG results are consistent with recent pump-probe spectroscopy data.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Fractional S^z excitation and its bound state around the 1/3 plateau of the S=1/2 Ising-like zigzag XXZ chain
We present the microscopic view for the excitations around the 1/3 plateau
state of the Ising-like zigzag XXZ chain. We analyze the low-energy excitations
around the plateau with the degenerating perturbation theory from the Ising
limit, combined with the Bethe-form wave function. We then find that the
domain-wall particles carrying and its bound state of describe well the low-energy excitations around the 1/3 plateau state. The
formation of the bound state of the domain-walls clearly provides the
microscopic mechanism of the cusp singularities and the even-odd behavior in
the magnetization curve.Comment: 13 pages, 15 figure
Self-Consistent Tensor Product Variational Approximation for 3D Classical Models
We propose a numerical variational method for three-dimensional (3D)
classical lattice models. We construct the variational state as a product of
local tensors, and improve it by use of the corner transfer matrix
renormalization group (CTMRG), which is a variant of the density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) applied to 2D classical systems. Numerical
efficiency of this approximation is investigated through trial applications to
the 3D Ising model and the 3D 3-state Potts model.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Application of the density matrix renormalization group method to finite temperatures and two-dimensional systems
The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method and its applications
to finite temperatures and two-dimensional systems are reviewed. The basic idea
of the original DMRG method, which allows precise study of the ground state
properties and low-energy excitations, is presented for models which include
long-range interactions. The DMRG scheme is then applied to the diagonalization
of the quantum transfer matrix for one-dimensional systems, and a reliable
algorithm at finite temperatures is formulated. Dynamic correlation functions
at finite temperatures are calculated from the eigenvectors of the quantum
transfer matrix with analytical continuation to the real frequency axis. An
application of the DMRG method to two-dimensional quantum systems in a magnetic
field is demonstrated and reliable results for quantum Hall systems are
presented.Comment: 33 pages, 18 figures; corrected Eq.(117

Nestin expression in the kidney with an obstructed ureter
Nestin is an intermediate filament protein originally identified in neuroepithelial stem cells. This cytoskeletal-associated protein is also expressed in some non-neuronal organs including renal tubular cells and glomerular endothelial cells during kidney development. Little is known, however, about nestin expression in the kidney during injury. In this study, we find nestin expression induced in renal tubular and interstitial myofibroblasts in the adult rat kidney following unilateral ureteral obstruction. The degree of nestin expression was well correlated with the degree of tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Immunohistochemical identification of specific nephron segments showed that nestin was primarily expressed by proximal tubules, partially by distal tubules and thick ascending limbs of Henle but not by collecting ducts. The nestin-positive tubular cells also expressed vimentin and heat-shock protein 47 (HSP47) suggesting these cells reverted to a mesenchymal phenotype. Not all vimentin- or HSP-expressing cells expressed nestin; however, suggesting that nestin is distinct from these conventional mesenchymal markers. Nestin expression was also found associated with phenotypical changes in cultured renal cells induced by hypoxia or transforming growth factor-β. Nestin expression was located in hypoxic regions of the kidney with an obstructed ureter. Our results indicate that nestin could be a novel marker for tubulointerstitial injury
