Superconductivity in S-substituted FeTe
We have successfully synthesized a new superconducting phase of FeTe1-xSx
with a PbO-type structure. It has the simplest crystal structure in iron-based
superconductors. Superconducting transition temperature is about 10 K at x =
0.2. The upper critical field Hc2 was estimated to be ~70 T. The coherent
length was calculated to be ~2.2 nm. Because FeTe1-xSx is composed of nontoxic
elements, this material is a candidate for applications and will activate more
and more research on iron-based superconductor.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Online monitoring system and data management for KamLAND
In January 22, 2002, KamLAND started the data-taking. The KamLAND detector is
a complicated system which consists of liquid scintillator, buffer oil,
spherical balloon and so on. In order to maintain the detector safety, we
constructed monitoring system which collect detector status information such as
balloon weight, liquid scintillator oil level and so on. In addition, we
constructed continuous Rn monitoring system for the Be solar neutrino
detection. The KamLAND monitoring system consists of various network, LON,
1-Wire, and TCP/IP, and these are indispensable for continuous experimental
data acquisition.Comment: Submitted to Nucl.Instrum.Meth.
Electronic charges and electric potential at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces studied by core-level photoemission spectroscopy
We studied LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces for varying LaAlO3 thickness by
core-level photoemission spectroscopy. In Ti 2p spectra for conducting "n-type"
interfaces, Ti3+ signals appeared, which were absent for insulating "p-type"
interfaces. The Ti3+ signals increased with LaAlO3 thickness, but started well
below the critical thickness of 4 unit cells for metallic transport. Core-level
shifts with LaAlO3 thickness were much smaller than predicted by the polar
catastrophe model. We attribute these observations to surface
defects/adsorbates providing charges to the interface even below the critical
thickness
Heterogeneity Induced Order in Globally Coupled Chaotic Systems
Collective behavior is studied in globally coupled maps with distributed
nonlinearity. It is shown that the heterogeneity enhances regularity in the
collective dynamics. Low-dimensional quasiperiodic motion is often found for
the mean-field, even if each element shows chaotic dynamics. The mechanism of
this order is due to the formation of an internal bifurcation structure, and
the self-consistent dynamics between the structures and the mean-field.
