Compressible vortex loops: effect of nozzle geometry
Vortex loops are fundamental building blocks of supersonic free jets. Isolating them allows for an easier study and better understanding of such flows. The present study looks at the behaviour of compressible vortex loops of different shapes, generated due to the diffraction of a shock wave from a shock tube with different exit nozzle geometries. These include a 15 mm diameter circular nozzle, two elliptical nozzles with minor to major axis ratios of 0.4 and 0.6, a 30 × 30 mm square nozzle, and finally two exotic nozzles resembling a pair of lips with minor to major axis ratios of 0.2 and 0.5. The experiments were performed for diaphragm pressure ratios of P4/P1=4, 8, and 12, with P4 and P1 being the pressures within the high pressure and low pressure compartments of the shock tube, respectively. High-speed schlieren photography as well as PIV measurements of both stream-wise and head-on flows have been conducted
Magnetic studies of the lightly Ru doped perovskite rhodates Sr(Ru,Rh)O
The solid solution between the ferromagnetic metal SrRuO and the enhanced
paramagnetic metal SrRhO was recently reported [K. Yamaura et al., Phys.
Rev. B 69 (2004) 024410], and an unexpected feature was found in the specific
heat data at =0.9 of SrRuRhO. The feature was reinvestigated
further by characterizing additional samples with various Ru concentrations in
the vicinity of =0.9. Specific heat and magnetic susceptibility data
indicate that the feature reflects a peculiar magnetism of the doped
perovskite, which appears only in the very narrow composition range

Spin melting and refreezing driven by uniaxial compression on a dipolar hexagonal plate
We investigate freezing characteristics of a finite dipolar hexagonal plate
by the Monte Carlo simulation. The hexagonal plate is cut out from a piled
triangular lattice of three layers with FCC-like (ABCABC) stacking structure.
In the present study an annealing simulation is performed for the dipolar plate
uniaxially compressed in the direction of layer-piling. We find spin melting
and refreezing driven by the uniaxial compression. Each of the melting and
refreezing corresponds one-to-one with a change of the ground states induced by
compression. The freezing temperatures of the ground-state orders differ
significantly from each other, which gives rise to the spin melting and
refreezing of the present interest. We argue that these phenomena are
originated by a finite size effect combined with peculiar anisotropic nature of
the dipole-dipole interaction.Comment: Proceedings of the Highly Frustrated Magnetism (HFM2006) conference.

Temperature Chaos and Bond Chaos in the Edwards-Anderson Ising Spin Glass : Domain-Wall Free-Energy Measurements
Domain-wall free-energy , entropy , and the correlation
function, , of are measured independently in the
four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass. The stiffness
exponent , the fractal dimension of domain walls and the
chaos exponent are extracted from the finite-size scaling analysis of
, and respectively well inside the
spin-glass phase. The three exponents are confirmed to satisfy the scaling
relation derived by the droplet theory within our
numerical accuracy. We also study bond chaos induced by random variation of
bonds, and find that the bond and temperature perturbations yield the universal
chaos effects described by a common scaling function and the chaos exponent.
These results strongly support the appropriateness of the droplet theory for
the description of chaos effect in the EA Ising spin glasses.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures; The title, the abstract and the text are changed

Scaling Analysis of Domain-Wall Free-Energy in the Edwards-Anderson Ising Spin Glass in a Magnetic Field
The stability of the spin-glass phase against a magnetic field is studied in
the three and four dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glasses. Effective
couplings and effective fields associated with length scale L are measured by a
numerical domain-wall renormalization group method. The results obtained by
scaling analysis of the data strongly indicate the existence of a crossover
length beyond which the spin-glass order is destroyed by field H. The crossover
length well obeys a power law of H which diverges as H goes to zero but remains
finite for any non-zero H, implying that the spin-glass phase is absent even in
an infinitesimal field. These results are well consistent with the droplet
theory for short-range spin glasses.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; The text is slightly changed, the figures 3, 4

Reply to Comment on "Quantum Phase Transition of Randomly-Diluted Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on a Square Lattice"
This is a reply to the comment by A. W. Sandvik (cond-mat/0010433) on our
paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4204 (2000). We show that his data do not conflict
with our data nor with our conclusions.Comment: RevTeX, 1 page; Revised versio
