Photoemission Spectral Weight Transfer and Mass Renormalization in the Fermi-Liquid System LaSrTiO
We have performed a photoemission study of LaSrTiO near
the filling-control metal-insulator transition (MIT) as a function of hole
doping. Mass renormalization deduced from the spectral weight and the width of
the quasi-particle band around the chemical potential is compared with
that deduced from the electronic specific heat. The result implies that, near
the MIT, band narrowing occurs strongly in the vicinity of . Spectral
weight transfer occurs from the coherent to the incoherent parts upon
antiferromagnetic ordering, which we associate with the partial gap opening at

Dynamics of localized spins coupled to the conduction electrons with charge/spin currents
The effects of the charge/spin currents of conduction electrons on the
dynamics of the localized spins are studied in terms of the perturbation in the
exchange coupling between them. The equations of motion for the
localized spins are derived exactly up to , and the equations for
the two-spin system is solved numerically. It is found that the dynamics
depends sensitively upon the relative magnitude of the charge and spin
currents, i.e., it shows steady state, periodic motion, and even chaotic
behavior. Extension to the multi-spin system and its implications including
possible ``spin current detector'' are also discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, REVTe
Universal Scaling Behavior of Anomalous Hall Effect and Anomalous Nernst Effect in Itinerant Ferromagnets
Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in a variety of
ferromagnetic metals including pure metals, oxides, and chalcogenides, are
studied to obtain unified understandings of their origins. We show a universal
scaling behavior of anomalous Hall conductivity as a function of
longitudinal conductivity over five orders of magnitude, which is
well explained by a recent theory of the AHE taking into account both the
intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. ANE is closely related with AHE and
provides us with further information about the low-temperature electronic state
of itinerant ferromagnets. Temperature dependence of transverse Peltier
coefficient shows an almost similar behavior among various
ferromagnets, and this behavior is in good agreement quantitatively with that
expected from the Mott rule.Comment: 4pages, 4figures, 1tabl
Effective mass staircase and the Fermi liquid parameters for the fractional quantum Hall composite fermions
Effective mass of the composite fermion in the fractional quantum Hall
system, which is of purely interaction originated, is shown, from a numerical
study, to exhibit a curious nonmonotonic behavior with a staircase correlated
with the number (=2,4,...) of attached flux quanta. This is surprising since
the usual composite-fermion picture predicts a smooth behavior. On top of that,
significant interactions are shown to exist between composite fermions, where
the excitation spectrum is accurately reproduced in terms of Landau's Fermi
liquid picture with negative (i.e., Hund's type) orbital and spin exchange
interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, REVTe
Topological spin-Hall current in waveguided zinc-blende semiconductors with Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling
We describe an intrinsic spin-Hall effect in -type bulk zinc-blende
semiconductors with topological origin. When electron transport is confined to
a waveguide structure, and the applied electric field is such that the spins of
electrons remain as eigenstates of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit field with
negligible subband mixing, a gauge structure appears in the momentum space of
the system. In particular, the momentum space exhibits a non-trivial Berry
curvature which affects the transverse motion of electrons anisotropically in
spin, thereby producing a finite spin-Hall effect. The effect should be
detectable using standard techniques in the literature such as Kerr rotation,
and be readily distinguishable from other mechanisms of the spin-Hall effect.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Pseudogap Induced Antiferromagnetic Spin Correlation in High-Temperature Superconductors
The pseudogap phenomena observed on cuprate high temperature superconductors
are investigated based on the exact diagonalization method on the finite
cluster t-J model. The results show the presence of the gap-like behavior in
the temperature dependence of various magnetic properties; the NMR relaxation
rate, the neutron scattering intensity and the static susceptibility. The
calculated spin correlation function indicates that the pseudogap behavior
arises associated with the development of the antiferromagnetic spin
correlation with decreasing the temperature. The numerical results are
presented to clarify the model parameter dependence, that covers the realistic
experimental situation. The effect of the next-nearest neighbor hopping is
also studied.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, with 10 eps figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Mott Transition vs Multicritical Phenomenon of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism -- Application to -(BEDT-TTF)X --
Interplay between the Mott transition and the multicritical phenomenon of
d-wave superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AF) is studied
theoretically. We describe the Mott transition, which is analogous to a
liquid-gas phase transition, in terms of an Ising-type order parameter .
We reveal possible mean-field phase diagrams produced by this interplay.
Renormalization group analysis up to one-loop order gives flows of coupling
constants, which in most cases lead to fluctuation-induced first-order phase
transitions even when the SO(5) symmetry exists betwen the SC and AF. Behaviors
of various physical quantities around the Mott critical point are predicted.
Experiments in -(BEDT-TTF)X are discussed from this viewpoint.Comment: 4 pages, 9 figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
