Enhancement of the spin pumping efficiency by spin-wave mode selection

The spin pumping efficiency of lateral standing spin wave modes in a rectangular YIG/Pt sample has been investigated by means of the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE). The standing spin waves drive spin pumping, the generation of spin currents from magnetization precession, into the Pt layer which is converted into a detectable voltage due to the ISHE. We discovered that the spin pumping efficiency is significantly higher for lateral standing surface spin waves rather than for volume spin wave modes. The results suggest that the use of higher-mode surface spin waves allows for the fabrication of an efficient spin-current injector

On a q-difference Painlev\'e III equation: I. Derivation, symmetry and Riccati type solutions

A q-difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III equation is considered. Its derivations, affine Weyl group symmetry, and two kinds of special function type solutions are discussed.Comment: arxiv version is already officia

The discrete potential Boussinesq equation and its multisoliton solutions

An alternate form of discrete potential Boussinesq equation is proposed and its multisoliton solutions are constructed. An ultradiscrete potential Boussinesq equation is also obtained from the discrete potential Boussinesq equation using the ultradiscretization technique. The detail of the multisoliton solutions is discussed by using the reduction technique. The lattice potential Boussinesq equation derived by Nijhoff et al. is also investigated by using the singularity confinement test. The relation between the proposed alternate discrete potential Boussinesq equation and the lattice potential Boussinesq equation by Nijhoff et al. is clarified.Comment: 17 pages,To appear in Applicable Analysis, Special Issue of Continuous and Discrete Integrable System

Rational solutions of the discrete time Toda lattice and the alternate discrete Painleve II equation

The Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials $y_{n}(t)$, which are defined by a second order bilinear differential-difference equation, provide rational solutions of the Toda lattice. They are also polynomial tau-functions for the rational solutions of the second Painlev\'{e} equation ($P_{II}$). Here we define two-variable polynomials $Y_{n}(t,h)$ on a lattice with spacing $h$, by considering rational solutions of the discrete time Toda lattice as introduced by Suris. These polynomials are shown to have many properties that are analogous to those of the Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials, to which they reduce when $h=0$. They also provide rational solutions for a particular discretisation of $P_{II}$, namely the so called {\it alternate discrete} $P_{II}$, and this connection leads to an expression in terms of the Umemura polynomials for the third Painlev\'{e} equation ($P_{III}$). It is shown that B\"{a}cklund transformation for the alternate discrete Painlev\'{e} equation is a symplectic map, and the shift in time is also symplectic. Finally we present a Lax pair for the alternate discrete $P_{II}$, which recovers Jimbo and Miwa's Lax pair for $P_{II}$ in the continuum limit $h\to 0$.Comment: 23 pages, IOP style.

Finite-dimensional reductions of the discrete Toda chain

The problem of construction of integrable boundary conditions for the discrete Toda chain is considered. The restricted chains for properly chosen closure conditions are reduced to the well known discrete Painlev\'e equations $dP_{III}$, $dP_{V}$, $dP_{VI}$. Lax representations for these discrete Painlev\'e equations are found.Comment: Submitted to Jornal of Physics A: Math. Gen., 14 page

Separation of colour degree of freedom from dynamics in a soliton cellular automaton

We present an algorithm to reduce the coloured box-ball system, a one dimensional integrable cellular automaton described by motions of several colour (kind) of balls, into a simpler monochrome system. This algorithm extracts the colour degree of freedom of the automaton as a word which turns out to be a conserved quantity of this dynamical system. It is based on the theory of crystal basis and in particular on the tensor products of sl_n crystals of symmetric and anti-symmetric tensor representations.Comment: 19 page

The group law on the tropical Hesse pencil

We show that the addition of points on the tropical Hesse curve can be realized via the intersection with a tropical line. Then the addition formula for the tropical Hesse curve is reduced from those for the level-three theta functions through the ultradiscretization procedure. A tropical analogue of the Hessian group, the group of linear automorphisms acting on the Hesse pencil, is also investigated; it is shown that the dihedral group of degree three is the group of linear automorphisms acting on the tropical Hesse pencil.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure, submitted to Special Issue of the Journal Mathematics and Computers in Simulation on "Nonlinear Waves: Computation and Theory
