    Thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric layered cobalt oxides measured by the Harman method

    Full text link
    In-plane thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric layered cobalt oxides has been measured using the Harman method, in which thermal conductivity is obtained from temperature gradient induced by applied current. We have found that the charge reservoir block (the block other than the CoO2_2 block) dominates the thermal conduction, where a nano-block integration concept is effective for material design. We have further found that the thermal conductivity shows a small but finite in-plane anisotropy between aa and bb axes, which can be ascribed to the misfit structure.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, J.

    New reductions of integrable matrix PDEs: Sp(m)Sp(m)-invariant systems

    Full text link
    We propose a new type of reduction for integrable systems of coupled matrix PDEs; this reduction equates one matrix variable with the transposition of another multiplied by an antisymmetric constant matrix. Via this reduction, we obtain a new integrable system of coupled derivative mKdV equations and a new integrable variant of the massive Thirring model, in addition to the already known systems. We also discuss integrable semi-discretizations of the obtained systems and present new soliton solutions to both continuous and semi-discrete systems. As a by-product, a new integrable semi-discretization of the Manakov model (self-focusing vector NLS equation) is obtained.Comment: 33 pages; (v4) to appear in JMP; This paper states clearly that the elementary function solutions of (a vector/matrix generalization of) the derivative NLS equation can be expressed as the partial xx-derivatives of elementary functions. Explicit soliton solutions are given in the author's talks at http://poisson.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tsuchida
