Doping-driven Mott transition in La_{1-x}Sr_xTiO_3 via simultaneous electron and hole doping of t2g subbands
The insulator to metal transition in LaTiO_3 induced by La substitution via
Sr is studied within multi-band exact diagonalization dynamical mean field
theory at finite temperatures. It is shown that weak hole doping triggers a
large interorbital charge transfer, with simultaneous electron and hole doping
of t2g subbands. The transition is first-order and exhibits phase separation
between insulator and metal. In the metallic phase, subband compressibilities
become very large and have opposite signs. Electron doping gives rise to an
interorbital charge flow in the same direction as hole doping. These results
can be understood in terms of a strong orbital depolarization.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Spin Polarization and Magneto-Coulomb Oscillations in Ferromagnetic Single Electron Devices
The magneto-Coulomb oscillation, the single electron repopulation induced by
external magnetic field, observed in a ferromagnetic single electron transistor
is further examined in various ferromagnetic single electron devices. In case
of double- and triple-junction devices made of Ni and Co electrodes, the single
electron repopulation always occurs from Ni to Co electrodes with increasing a
magnetic field, irrespective of the configurations of the electrodes. The
period of the magneto-Coulomb oscillation is proportional to the single
electron charging energy. All these features are consistently explained by the
mechanism that the Zeeman effect induces changes of the Fermi energy of the
ferromagnetic metal having a non-zero spin polarizations. Experimentally
determined spin polarizations are negative for both Ni and Co and the magnitude
is larger for Ni than Co as expected from band calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, uses jpsj.sty, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Critical Level Statistics in Two-dimensional Disordered Electron Systems
The level statistics in the two dimensional disordered electron systems in
magnetic fields (unitary ensemble) or in the presence of strong spin-orbit
scattering (symplectic ensemble) are investigated at the Anderson transition
points. The level spacing distribution functions 's are found to be
independent of the system size or of the type of the potential distribution,
suggesting the universality. They behave as in the small region in
the former case, while rise is seen in the latter.Comment: LaTeX, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. (Letter) Nov., Figures

Delta degrees of freedom in antisymmetrized molecular dynamics and (p,p') reactions in the delta region
Delta degrees of freedom are introduced into antisymmetrized molecular
dynamics (AMD). This is done by increasing the number of basic states in the
AMD wave function, introducing a Skyrme-type delta-nucleon potential, and
including reactions in the collision description.
As a test of the delta dynamics, the extended AMD is applied to (p,p)
recations at MeV for a C target. It is found that the
ratio and the absolute values for delta peak and quasielastic peak (QEP) in the
C(p,p) reaction are reproduced for angles \Theta_{\rm lab} \agt
40^\circ, pointing to a correct treatment of the delta dynamics in the
extended AMD. For forward angles the QEP is overestimated. The results of the
AMD calculations are compared to one-step Monte Carlo (OSMC) calculations and a
detailed analysis of multi-step and delta potential effects is given. As
important side results we present a way to apply a Gallilei invariant theory
for (N,N) reactions up to MeV which ensures
approximate Lorentz invariance and we discuss how to fix the width parameter
of the single particle momentum distribution for outgoing nucleons in the
AMD calculation.Comment: 28 pages, revtex, 12 figures included, figures are also available

Magneto-Coulomb Oscillation in Ferromagnetic Single Electron Transistors
The mechanism of the magneto-Coulomb oscillation in ferromagnetic single
electron transistors (SET's) is theoretically considered. Variations in the
chemical potentials of the conduction electrons in the ferromagnetic island
electrode and the ferromagnetic lead electrodes in magnetic fields cause
changes in the free energy of the island electrode of the SET. Experimental
results of the magneto-Coulomb oscillation in a Ni/Co/Ni ferromagnetic SET are
presented and discussed. Possible applications of this phenomenon are also
discussed.Comment: 24 pages Latex, 5 figures in GIF files, style files included. Revised
version: some errors are corrected and further discussions are added. To be

Darboux Transformations, Infinitesimal Symmetries and Conservation Laws for Nonlocal Two-Dimensional Toda Lattice
The technique of Darboux transformation is applied to nonlocal partner of
two-dimensional periodic A_{n-1} Toda lattice. This system is shown to admit a
representation as the compatibility conditions of direct and dual
overdetermined linear systems with quantized spectral parameter. The
generalization of the Darboux transformation technique on linear equations of
such a kind is given. The connections between the solutions of overdetermined
linear systems and their expansions in series at singular points neighborhood
are presented. The solutions of the nonlocal Toda lattice and infinite
hierarchies of the infinitesimal symmetries and conservation laws are obtained.Comment: 12 pages, infinitesimal symmetries and conservation laws are adde
Spectral Properties of the Chalker-Coddington Network
We numerically investigate the spectral statistics of pseudo-energies for the
unitary network operator U of the Chalker--Coddington network. The shape of the
level spacing distribution as well the scaling of its moments is compared to
known results for quantum Hall systems. We also discuss the influence of
multifractality on the tail of the spacing distribution.Comment: JPSJ-style, 7 pages, 4 Postscript figures, to be published in J.

Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Compensation Strategies of Extreme Outages caused by Polarization Mode Dispersion and Amplifier Noise
Effect of birefringent disorder on the Bit Error Rate (BER) in an optical
fiber telecommunication system subject to amplifier noise may lead to extreme
outages, related to anomalously large values of BER. We analyze the Probability
Distribution Function (PDF) of BER for various strategies of Polarization Mode
Dispersion (PMD) compensation. A compensation method is proposed that is
capable of more efficient extreme outages suppression, which leads to
substantial improvement of the fiber system performance.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, Submitted to IEEE Photonics Letter
Discovering the Elite Hypervolume by Leveraging Interspecies Correlation
Evolution has produced an astonishing diversity of species, each filling a
different niche. Algorithms like MAP-Elites mimic this divergent evolutionary
process to find a set of behaviorally diverse but high-performing solutions,
called the elites. Our key insight is that species in nature often share a
surprisingly large part of their genome, in spite of occupying very different
niches; similarly, the elites are likely to be concentrated in a specific
"elite hypervolume" whose shape is defined by their common features. In this
paper, we first introduce the elite hypervolume concept and propose two metrics
to characterize it: the genotypic spread and the genotypic similarity. We then
introduce a new variation operator, called "directional variation", that
exploits interspecies (or inter-elites) correlations to accelerate the
MAP-Elites algorithm. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this operator in
three problems (a toy function, a redundant robotic arm, and a hexapod robot).Comment: In GECCO 201
Anderson transition in three-dimensional disordered systems with symplectic symmetry
The Anderson transition in a 3D system with symplectic symmetry is
investigated numerically. From a one-parameter scaling analysis the critical
exponent of the localization length is extracted and estimated to be . The level statistics at the critical point are also analyzed
and shown to be scale independent. The form of the energy level spacing
distribution at the critical point is found to be different from that
for the orthogonal ensemble suggesting that the breaking of spin rotation
symmetry is relevant at the critical point.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, to appear in Physical Review Letters. 3 figures
