Theory of Spin polarized Tunneling in Superconducting Sr2RuO4
A theory of tunneling conductance in ferromagnetic metal/insulator/triplet -
supercondcutor junctions is presented for unitary and non-unitary spin triplet
pairing states which are promising candidates for the superconducting paring
symmetry of Sr2RuO4. As the magnitude of the exchange interaction in the
ferromagnetic metal is increased, the conductance for the unitary pairing state
below the energy gap is reduced in contrast to the case for the non-unitary
pairing state
Electronic Properties of Topological Materials: Optical Excitations in Moebius Conjugated Polymers
Electronic structures and optical excitations in Moebius conjugated polymers
are studied theoretically. Periodic and Moebius boundary conditions are applied
to the tight binding model of poly(para-phenylene), taking exciton effects into
account. We discuss that oligomers with a few structural units are more
effective than polymers for observations of effects of discrete wave numbers
that are shifted by the change in boundary condition. Next, calculations of
optical absorption spectra are reported. Certain components of optical
absorption for an electric field perpendicular to the polymer axis mix with
absorption spectra for an electric field parallel to the polymer axis.
Therefore, the polarization dependences of an electric field of light enable us
to detect whether conjugated polymers have the Moebius boundary.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 74

Theory of magnetotunneling spectroscopy in spin triplet p-wave superconductors
We study the influence of a magnetic field on the zero-bias conductance
peak (ZBCP) due to zero-energy Andreev bound state (ZES) in normal metal /
unconventional superconductor. For p-wave junctions, ZBCP does not split into
two by even for sufficiently low transparent junctions, where ZBCP clearly
splits for d-wave. This unique property originates from the fact that for
p-wave superconductors, perpendicularly injected quasiparticle form ZES, which
contribute most dominantly on the tunneling conductance. In addition, we show
that for +i-wave superconductor junctions, the height of ZBCP is
sensitive to due to the formation of broken time reversal symmetry state.
We propose that tunneling spectroscopy in the presence of magnetic field,
, , is an promising method to determine the pairing
symmetry of unconventional superconductors.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, using jpsj2.cl
Tunneling current in triplet f-wave superconductors with horizontal lines of nodes
We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a
normal-metal/insulator/triplet superconductor using the
Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formulation. Possible states for the
superconductor are considered with horizontal lines of nodes, breaking the time
reversal symmetry. These results would be useful to discriminate between
pairing states in superonductor SrRuO and also in UPt.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
Edge states and determination of pairing symmetry in superconducting Sr2RuO4
We calculate the energy dispersion of the surface Andreev states and their
contribution to tunneling conductance for the order parameters with horizontal
and vertical lines of nodes proposed for superconducting Sr2RuO4. For vertical
lines, we find double peaks in tunneling spectra reflecting the van Hove
singularities in the density of surface states originating from the turning
points in their energy dispersion. For horizontal lines, we find a single
cusp-like peak at zero bias, which agrees very well with the experimental data
on tunneling in Sr2RuO4.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures. V.2: comparison with experiment added and
discussion of horizontal nodes expanded. v.3: significant expansion: 1 figure
and 2 pages added. v.4: acknowledgements added. Additional viewgraphs with

Theory of tunneling spectroscopy in superconducting Sr2RuO4
A theory for tunneling spectroscopy in normal metal /insulator/triplet
superconductor junction is presented. We assume two kinds of non-unitary
triplet superconducting states which are the most promising states for
SrRuO. The calculated conductance spectra showzero-bias peaks as
well as gap structures. The existences of residual components in the spectra
reflect the non-unitary properties of superconducting states.Comment: 5pages, 4figures(included), to be published in Phys.Rev.B 56, (1997
A Protocol Guide for the N. crassa Yeast Artificial Chromosome Library
A yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library of Neurospora crassa strain 74-OR23-1A has been constructed. This library has been used to clone 750 kb of contiguous DNA sequences from the centromere region of linkage group VII (M. Centola and J. Carbon. 1994. Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:1510-1519). The purpose of this article is explicitly to outline procedures that have been developed for library screening and chromosome walking
Parity-sensitive measurements based on ferromagnet/superconductor tunneling junctions
A method to identify the parity of unconventional superconductors is proposed
based on tunneling spectroscopy. For a model of calculation, we adopt a
ferromagnet/superconductor (F/S) junction of which tunneling current is spin
polarized. The tunneling conductance spectra are shown to be quite sensitive to
the direction of the magnetization axis in the ferromagnet only when the
superconductor has odd parity. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish the
parity of the superconductor by measuring the tunneling spectroscopy in F/S
junctions.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure. To appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Josephson Current between Triplet and Singlet Superconductors
The Josephson effect between triplet and singlet superconductors is studied.
Josephson current can flow between triplet and singlet superconductors due to
the spin-orbit coupling in the spin-triplet superconductor but it is finite
only when triplet superconductor has , where and
are the perpendicular components of orbital angular momentum and spin angular
momentum of the triplet Cooper pairs, respectively. The recently observed
temperature and orientational dependence of the critical current through a
Josephson junction between UPt and Nb is investigated by considering a
non-unitary triplet state.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
Competition between spin and charge polarized states in nanographene ribbons with zigzag edges
Effects of the nearest neighbor Coulomb interaction on nanographene ribbons
with zigzag edges are investigated using the extended Hubbard model within the
unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. The nearest Coulomb interaction
stabilizes a novel electronic state with the opposite electric charges
separated and localized along both edges, resulting in a finite electric dipole
moment pointing from one edge to the other. This charge-polarized state
competes with the peculiar spin-polarized state caused by the on-site Coulomb
interaction and is stabilized by an external electric field.Comment: 4 pages; 4 figures; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. B; related
