Exact dimer ground state of the two dimensional Heisenberg spin system SrCu_2(BO_3)_2
The two dimensional Heisenberg model for SrCu_2(BO_3)_2 has the exact dimer
ground state which was proven by Shastry and Sutherland almost twenty years
ago. The critical value of the quantum phase transition from the dimer state to
the N\'{e}el ordered state is determined. Analysis of the experimental data
shows that SrCu_2(BO_3)_2 has the dimer ground state but is close to the
transition point, which leads to the unusual temperature dependence of the
susceptibility. Almost localized nature of the triplet excitations explains the
plateaus observed in the magnetization curve.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in PR

Swift Highly Charged Ion Channelling
We review recent experimental and theoretical progress made in the scope of
swift highly charged ion channelling in crystals. The usefulness of such
studies is their ability to yield impact parameter information on charge
transfer processes, and also on some time related problems. We discuss the
cooling and heating phenomena at MeV/u energies, results obtained with
decelerated H-like ion beams at GSI and with ions having an excess of electrons
at GANIL, the superdensity effect along atomic strings and Resonant Coherent
Excitation.Comment: to be published in Journal of Physics
Impurity Effect on Spin Ladder System
Effects of nonmagnetic impurity doping in a spin ladder system with a spin
gap are investigated by the exact diagonalization as well as by the variational
Monte Carlo calculations. Substantial changes in macroscopic properties such as
enhancements in spin correlations and magnetic susceptibilities are observed in
the low impurity concentration region, which are caused by the increase of
low-energy states. These results suggest that small but finite amount of
nonmagnetic impurity doping relevantly causes the reduction or the vanishment
of the spin gap. This qualitatively explains the experimental result of
Zn-doped SrCuO where small doping induces gapless nature. We
propose a possible scenario for this drastic change as a quantum phase
transition in a spin gapped ladder system due to spinon doping effects.Comment: 14 pages LaTeX including 5 PS figure
Gravitational Effects of Quantum Fields in the Interior of a Cylindrical Black Hole
The gravitational back-reaction is calculated for the conformally invariant
scalar field within a black cosmic string interior with cosmological constant.
Using the perturbed metric, the gravitational effects of the quantum field are
calculated. It is found that the perturbations initially strengthen the
singularity. This effect is similar to the case of spherical symmetry (without
cosmological constant). This indicates that the behaviour of quantum effects
may be universal and not dependent on the geometry of the spacetime nor the
presence of a non-zero cosmological constant.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, uses AMS package. D.E. solution corrected. Some

Three-leg Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Ladder with Frustrated Boundary Condition; Ground State Properties
The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin systems on the three-leg ladder are
investigated. Periodic boundary condition is imposed in the rung direction. The
system has an excitation gap for all antiferromagnetic inter-chain coupling
(). The estimated gap for the strong coupling limit
() is 0.28. Although the interaction is
homogeneous and only nearest-neighbor, the ground states of the system are
dimerized and break the translational symmetry in the thermodynamic limit.
Introducing the next-nearest neighbor coupling (), we can see that the
system is solved exactly. The ground state wave function is completely
dimer-ordered. Using density matrix renomalization group algorithm, we show
numerically that the original model () has the same nature with the
exactly solvable model. The ground state properties of the ladder with a higher
odd number of legs are also discussed.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX, to be published in J.Phys.Soc.Jpn. Vol. 66 No. 1
Dynamical generation of fuzzy extra dimensions, dimensional reduction and symmetry breaking
We present a renormalizable 4-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory with a suitable
multiplet of scalar fields, which dynamically develops extra dimensions in the
form of a fuzzy sphere S^2. We explicitly find the tower of massive
Kaluza-Klein modes consistent with an interpretation as gauge theory on M^4 x
S^2, the scalars being interpreted as gauge fields on S^2. The gauge group is
broken dynamically, and the low-energy content of the model is determined.
Depending on the parameters of the model the low-energy gauge group can be
SU(n), or broken further to SU(n_1) x SU(n_2) x U(1), with mass scale
determined by the size of the extra dimension.Comment: 27 pages. V2: discussion and references added, published versio
63Cu NQR evidence of dimensional crossover to anisotropic 2d regime in S= 1/2 three-leg ladder Sr2Cu3O5
We probed spin-spin correlations up to 725 K with 63Cu NQR in the S= 1/2
three-leg ladder Sr2Cu3O5. We present experimental evidence that below 300 K,
weak inter-ladder coupling causes dimensional crossover of the spin-spin
correlation length \xi from quasi-1d (\xi ~ 1/T) to anisotropic 2d regime (\xi
\~ exp[2\pi\rho_{s}/T], where 2\pi\rho_{s} = 290 +/- 30 K is the effective spin
stiffness). This is the first experimental verification of the renormalized
classical behavior of the anisotropic non-linear sigma model in 2d, which has
been recently proposed for the striped phase in high T_{c} cuprates.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Out-of-plane instability and electron-phonon contribution to s- and d-wave pairing in high-temperature superconductors; LDA linear-response calculation for doped CaCuO2 and a generic tight-binding model
The equilibrium structure, energy bands, phonon dispersions, and s- and
d-channel electron-phonon interactions (EPIs) are calculated for the
infinite-layer superconductor CaCuO2 doped with 0.24 holes per CuO2. The LDA
and the linear-response full-potential LMTO method were used. In the
equilibrium structure, oxygen is found to buckle slightly out of the plane and,
as a result, the characters of the energy bands near EF are found to be similar
to those of other optimally doped HTSCs. For the EPI we find lambda(s)=0.4, in
accord with previous LDA calculations for YBa2Cu3O7. This supports the common
belief that the EPI mechanism alone is insufficient to explain HTSC.
Lambda(x^2-y^2) is found to be positive and nearly as large as lambda(s). This
is surprising and indicates that the EPI could enhance some other d-wave
pairing mechanism. Like in YBa2Cu3O7, the buckling modes contribute
significantly to the EPI, although these contributions are proportional to the
static buckling and would vanish for flat planes. These numerical results can
be understood from a generic tight-binding model originally derived from the
LDA bands of YBa2Cu3O7. In the future, the role of anharmonicity of the
buckling-modes and the influence of the spin-fluctuations should be
investigated.Comment: 19 pages, 9 Postscript figures, Late
