Symmetry breaking caused by large R-charge
We discuss the gauge symmetry breaking via the Hosotani mechanism by using
exact results on supersymmetric gauge theories based on the localization
method. We use the theories on S^2 x S^1 Euclidean space, and study how the
effective potential for the Wilson line phase varies by running an imaginary
chemical potential. In order to break the symmetry, we find that large R-charge
is necessary. With such large R-charge, we study the phase structure of the
theory. In addition, we observed that a finite size effect on our curved space
when we take R-charge is not so large.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures. Typos corrected, Comments on the limit adde
Unidirectional control of optically induced spin waves
Unidirectional control of optically induced spin waves in a rare-earth iron
garnet crystal is demonstrated. We observed the interference of two spin-wave
packets with different initial phases generated by circularly polarized light
pulses. This interference results in unidirectional propagation if the
spin-wave sources are spaced apart at 1/4 of the wavelength of the spin waves
and the initial phase difference is set to pi/2. The propagating direction of
the spin wave is switched by the polarization helicity of the light pulses.
Moreover, in a numerical simulation, applying more than two spin-wave sources
with a suitable polarization and spot shape, arbitrary manipulation of the spin
wave by the phased array method was replicated
High HOMO levels and narrow energy band gaps of dithienogalloles
We synthesized dithieno[3, 2-b:2′, 3′-d]galloles containing four-coordinated gallium atoms. It was found that dithienogalloles had high stability to air and moisture and showed narrower energy-band gaps than dithienosiloles which are commodity materials in organic opto and/or electronic devices. In addition, relatively-higher HOMO levels were observed from dithienogalloles than those of other dithienoheteroles from electrochemical measurements. We experimentally and theoretically demonstrated the electron-donating properties and resonance effects of gallium atoms of dithienogalloles
DEM-CFD simulation for mixing process of binary particles with large size difference in a bubbling fluidized bed
In practical applications of fluidized beds, the size of solid materials is not uniform and large solids coexist with small solids. The large size difference significantly influences the mixing and segregation phenomena in the beds. However, these behaviors are not fully understood. In the present study, a large-scale DEM-CFD coupling simulation (1) for a pseudo-2D bubbling fluidized bed of binary particles with large size difference is performed. Momentum exchange between larger particles and fluid is expressed by fictitious particle method by Tsuji et al. (2). A particle mixture consists of two kinds of spherical particles with 1 mm diameter and 2500 kg/m3 density and 20 mm diameter and 1600 kg/m3 density. The number of the smaller particles is twenty five million and that of the larger particles is five hundred. The particle mixture is initially in completely separated state, and mixing process of the particles is investigated. The snapshot of the simulation result is shown in Fig. 1. We can observe that the large particles are mixed by bubbles occurring in the bed.

Local density of states as a probe for tunneling magnetoresistance effect: application to ferrimagnetic tunnel junctions
We investigate the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect using the lattice
models which describe the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). First, taking a
conventional ferromagnetic MTJ as an example, we show that the product of the
local density of states (LDOS) at the center of the barrier traces the TMR
effect qualitatively. The LDOS inside the barrier has the information on the
electrodes and the electron tunneling through the barrier, which enables us to
easily evaluate the tunneling conductance more precisely than the conventional
Julliere's picture. We then apply this method to the MTJs with collinear
ferrimagnets and antiferromagnets. We find that the TMR effect in the
ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic MTJs changes depending on the interfacial
magnetic structures originating from the sublattice structure, which can also
be captured by the LDOS. Our findings will reduce the computational cost for
the qualitative evaluation of the TMR effect, and be useful for a broader
search for the materials which work as the TMR devices showing high
performance.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figure
