Mixing among light scalar mesons and L=1 q\bar{q} scalar mesons
Following the re-establishment of the \sigma(600) and the \kappa(900), the
light scalar mesons a_0(980) and f_0(980) together with the \sigma(600) and the
\kappa(900) are considered as the chiral scalar partner of pseudoscalar nonet
in SU(3) chiral symmetry, and the high mass scalar mesons a_0(1450),
K^*_0(1430), f_0(1370) and f_0(1710) turned out to be considered as the L=1
q\bar{q} scalar mesons. We assume that the high mass of the L=1 q\bar{q} scalar
mesons is caused by the mixing with the light scalar mesons. For the structure
of the light scalar mesons, we adopted the qq\bar{q}\bar{q} model in order to
explain the "scalar meson puzzle". The inter-mixing between the light scalar
nonet and the high mass L=1 q\bar{q} nonet and the intra-mixing among each
nonet are analyzed by including the glueball into the high mass scalar nonet.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Cosmic ray sidereal diurnal variation of galactic origin observed by neutron monitors
Cosmic ray sidereal diurnal variations observed by neutron monitors are analyzed for the period 1961 to 1978, by adding 134 station years data to the previous paper (Nagashima, et al., 1983). Also the dependence of the sidereal variations on Sun's polar magnetic field polarity is examined for two periods; the period of negative polarity in the northern region, 1961 to 1969 and the period of positive polarity, 1970 to 1978. It is obtained that for the former period, the amplitude A=0.0203 + or 0.0020% and the phase phi=6.1 + or - 0.4 h LST and for the latter period, 0.0020% and phi=8.6 + or - 4 h LST, respectively
Metal-nonmetal transition in LixCoO2 thin film and thermopower enhancement at high Li concentration
We investigate the transport properties of LixCoO2 thin films whose
resistivities are nearly an order of magnitude lower than those of the bulk
polycrystals. A metal-nonmetal transition occurs at ~0.8 in a biphasic domain,
and the Seebeck coefficient (S) is drastically increased at ~140 K (= T*) with
increasing the Li concentration to show a peak of magnitude ~120 \muV/K in the
S-T curve of x = 0.87. We show that T* corresponds to a crossover temperature
in the conduction, most likely reflecting the correlation-induced temperature
dependence in the low-energy excitations
Effects to Scalar Meson Decays of Strong Mixing between Low and High Mass Scalar Mesons
We analyze the mass spectroscopy of low and high mass scalar mesons and get
the result that the coupling strengths of the mixing between low and high mass
scalar mesons are very strong and the strengths of mixing for scalar
mesons and those of I=0 scalar mesons are almost same. Next, we analyze the
decay widths and decay ratios of these mesons and get the results that the
coupling constants for which represents the coupling of high
mass scalar meson -> two pseudoscalar mesons are almost same as the
coupling for the I=0. On the other hand, the coupling constant for
which represents the low mass scalar meson -> are far
from the coupling constant for I=0. We consider a resolution for this
discrepancy. Coupling constant for glueball -> is smaller than
the coupling . is .Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Anisotropic magnetic fluctuations in the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe studied by angle-resolved ^{59}Co NMR
We have carried out direction-dependent ^{59}Co NMR experiments on a single
crystal sample of the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe in order to study the
magnetic properties in the normal state. The Knight shift and nuclear
spin-lattice relaxation rate measurements provide microscopic evidence that
both static and dynamic susceptibilities are ferromagnetic with strong Ising
anisotropy. We discuss that superconductivity induced by these magnetic
fluctuations prefers spin-triplet pairing state.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Anisotropy in the Antiferromagnetic Spin Fluctuations of Sr2RuO4
It has been proposed that Sr_2RuO_4 exhibits spin triplet superconductivity
mediated by ferromagnetic fluctuations. So far neutron scattering experiments
have failed to detect any clear evidence of ferromagnetic spin fluctuations
but, instead, this type of experiments has been successful in confirming the
existence of incommensurate spin fluctuations near q=(1/3 1/3 0). For this
reason there have been many efforts to associate the contributions of such
incommensurate fluctuations to the mechanism of its superconductivity. Our
unpolarized inelastic neutron scattering measurements revealed that these
incommensurate spin fluctuations possess c-axis anisotropy with an anisotropic
factor \chi''_{c}/\chi''_{a,b} of \sim 2.8. This result is consistent with some
theoretical ideas that the incommensurate spin fluctuations with a c-axis
anisotropy can be a origin of p-wave superconductivity of this material.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; accepted for publication in PR
Evidence for incommensurate spin fluctuations in Sr_2RuO_4
We report first inelastic neutron scattering measurements in the normal state
of Sr_2RuO_4 that reveal the existence of incommensurate magnetic spin
fluctuations located at . This
finding confirms recent band structure calculations that have predicted
incommensurate magnetic responses related to dynamical nesting properties of
its Fermi surface
Incommensurate Magnetism around Vortices and Impurities in High- Superconductors
By solving self-consistently an effective Hamiltonian including interactions
for both antiferromagnetic spin-density wave (SDW) and d-wave superconducting
(DSC) orderings, a comparison study is made for the local magnetic structure
around superconducting vortices and unitary impurities. To represent the
optimally doped regime of cuprates, the parameter values are chosen such that
the DSC is dominant while the SDW is vanishingly small. We show that when
vortices are introduced into the superconductor, an oscillating SDW is induced
around them. The oscillation period of the SDW is microscopically found,
consistent with experiments, to be eight lattice constants (). The
associated charge-density wave (CDW) oscillates with a period of one half
() of the SDW. In the case of unitary impurities, we find a SDW
modulation with identical periodicity, however without an associated CDW. We
propose neutron scattering experiments to test this prediction.Comment: 5 pages, 4 eps figures (color) included in the tex
