Electrochemical performance of a thin film type SOFC on a porous microtubular support
This report summarizes electrochemical performances of a thin film type SOFC prepared on a porous microtubular support. The sample was prepared via the co-sintering of YSZ electrolyte and NiO-YSZ anode bilayers on a porous microtubular YSZ support, and then an LSCF-GDC cathode layer was also prepared on the electrolyte film. Evaluations were conducted using impedance analyzer and potentio/galvanostat under a humidified hydrogen flow. Film thickness of the anode layer was controlled by the composition of the anode coating suspension and the coating conditions (coating number and coating speed etc.). Impedance analyses showed that with increasing operation temperature, semi-circle at higher frequency region became small, while semi-circle at lower frequency region weakly depended on the temperature. Electrode activation energy was calculated to be approximately 80 kJ/mol using Arrhenius plot on the semi-circle at higher frequency region.open1133Nsciescopu
Triple Products and Yang-Baxter Equation (II): Orthogonal and Symplectic Ternary Systems
We generalize the result of the preceeding paper and solve the Yang-Baxter
equation in terms of triple systems called orthogonal and symplectic ternary
systems. In this way, we found several other new solutions.Comment: 38 page
Parity violating observables in radiative neutrino pair emission from metastable atoms
We report on a possibility of measuring parity violating effects in radiative
neutrino pair emission from metastable atoms; asymmetric angular distribution
of emitted photons from oriented atoms and emergent circular polarization.
Their observation, along with the continuous photon energy spectrum which has 6
thresholds, may be interpreted as events being a combined weak and QED process,
emission of in the final state. The method may greatly
help to perform neutrino mass spectroscopy using atoms, a systematic
determination of the neutrino mass matrix.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Exotic baryons from a heavy meson and a nucleon
We evaluate a hadronic molecule formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon
respecting heavy quark symmetry. The tensor force of pion exchange potential
plays a dominate role to produce an strong attraction in this system. Solving
coupled channel Schr\"odinger equations for PN and P* N, we find many bound and
resonant states with isospin I=0 while there are few resonances in I=1 state.
The rich structures with I=0 indicate that the spectrum of heavy baryons near
the threshold is influenced by the contributions from such hadron composite
structures.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of The 5th International Workshop on

New Universality of Lyapunov Spectra in Hamiltonian Systems
A new universality of Lyapunov spectra {\lambda_i} is shown for Hamiltonian
systems. The universality appears in middle energy regime and is different from
another universality which can be reproduced by random matrices in the
following two points. One is that the new universality appears in a limited
range of large i/N rather than the whole range, where N is degrees of freedom.
The other is Lyapunov spectra do not behave linearly while random matrices give
linear behavior even on 3D lattice. Quadratic terms with smaller nonlinear
terms of potential functions play an intrinsic role in the new universality.Comment: 19 pages, 16 Encapsulated Postscript figures, LaTeX (100 kb
Triple Products and Yang-Baxter Equation (I): Octonionic and Quaternionic Triple Systems
We can recast the Yang-Baxter equation as a triple product equation. Assuming
the triple product to satisfy some algebraic relations, we can find new
solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. This program has been completed here for
the simplest triple systems which we call octonionic and quaternionic. The
solutions are of rational type.Comment: 29 page
Inflation by non-minimal coupling
Inflationary scenarios based on simple non-minimal coupling and its
generalizations are studied. Generalizing the form of non-minimal coupling to
"K(phi)R" with an arbitrary function K(phi), we show that the flat potential
still is obtainable when V(phi)/K^2(phi) is asymptotically constant. Very
interestingly, if the ratio of the dimensionless self-coupling constant of the
inflaton field and the non-minimal coupling constant is small the cosmological
observables for general monomial cases are in good agreement with recent
observational data.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur
Semi-classical open string corrections and symmetric Wilson loops
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, an AdS_2 x S^2 D3-brane with electric flux in
AdS_5 x S^5 spacetime corresponds to a circular Wilson loop in the symmetric
representation or a multiply wound one in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. In order
to distinguish the symmetric loop and the multiply wound loop, one should see
an exponentially small correction in large 't Hooft coupling. We study
semi-classically the disk open string attached to the D3-brane. We obtain the
exponent of the term and it agrees with the result of the matrix model
calculation of the symmetric Wilson loop.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures. v2: explanation improved. v3: argument in
