On Phase Transition of -Type Crystals by Cluster Variation Method
The Cluster Variation Method (CVM) is applied to the Ishibashi model for
ammonium dihydrogen phosphate () of a typical hydrogen
bonded anti-ferroelectric crystal. The staggered and the uniform susceptibility
without hysteresis are calculated at equilibrium. On the other hand, by making
use of the natural iteration method (NIM) for the CVM, hysteresis phenomena of
uniform susceptibility versus temperature observed in experiments is well
explained on the basis of local minimum in Landau type variational free energy.
The polarization curves against the uniform field is also calculated.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Rotor vibration caused by external excitation and rub
For turbomachinery with low natural frequencies, considerations have been recently required for rotor vibrations caused by external forces except unbalance one, such as foundation motion, seismic wave, rub and so forth. Such a forced vibration is investigated analytically and experimentally in the present paper. Vibrations in a rotor-bearing system under a harmonic excitation are analyzed by the modal technique in the case of a linear system including gyroscopic effect. For a nonlinear system a new and powerful quasi-modal technique is developed and applied to the vibration caused by rub
Dynamical Susceptibility in KDP-type Crysals above and below Tc II
The path probability method (PPM) in the tetrahedron-cactus approximation is
applied to the Slater-Takagi model with dipole-dipole interaction for
KH2PO4-type hydrogen-bonded ferroelectric crystals in order to derive a small
dip structure in the real part of dynamical susceptibility observed at the
transition temperature Tc. The dip structure can be ascribed to finite
relaxation times of electric dipole moments responsible for the first order
transition with contrast to the critical slowing down in the second order
transition. The light scattering intensity which is related to the imaginary
part of dynamical susceptibility is also calculated above and below the
transition temperature and the obtained central peak structure is consistent
with polarization fluctuation modes in Raman scattering experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure
Dynamical Susceptibility in KH2PO4-type Crystals above and below Tc
The time dependent cluster approximation called the path probability method
(PPM) is applied to a pseudo-spin Ising Hamiltonian of the Slater-Takagi model
for KH2PO4-type hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics in order to calculate the
homogeneous dynamical susceptibility above and below the ferroelectric
transition temperature. Above the transition temperature all the calculations
are carried out analytically in the cactus approximation of the PPM. Below the
transition temperature the dynamical susceptibility is also calculated
accurately since the analytical solution of spontaneous polarization in the
ferroelectric phase can be utilized. When the temperature is approached from
both sides of the transition temperature, only one of relaxation times shows a
critical slowing down and makes a main contribution to the dynamical
susceptibility. The discrepancy from Slater model (ice-rule limit) is discussed
in comparison with some experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figure
Orbital magnetization and its effect in antiferromagnets on the distorted fcc lattice
We study the intrinsic orbital magnetization (OM) in antiferromagnets on the
distorted face-centered-cubic lattice. The combined lattice distortion and spin
frustration induce nontrivial -space Chern invariant, which turns to result
in profound effects on the OM properties. We derive a specific relation between
the OM and the Hall conductivity, according to which it is found that the
intrinsic OM vanishes when the electron chemical potential lies in the Mott
gap. The distinct behavior of the intrinsic OM in the metallic and insulating
regions is shown. The Berry phase effects on the thermoelectric transport is
also discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
Application of exchange Monte Carlo method to ordering dynamics
We apply the exchange Monte Carlo method to the ordering dynamics of the
three-state Potts model with the conserved order parameter. Even for the deeply
quenched case to low temperatures, we have observed a rapid domain growth; we
have proved the efficiency of the exchange Monte Carlo method for the ordering
process. The late-stage growth law has been found to be for
the case of conserved order parameter of three-component system.Comment: 7 pages including 5 eps figures, to appear in New J. Phys.
