Co-NMR Knight Shift of NaxCoO2 \dot yH2O Studied in Both Superconducting Regions of the Tc-nuQ3 Phase Diagram Divided by the Nonsuperconducting Phase
In the temperature (T)-nuQ3 phase diagram of NaxCoO2 \dot yH2O, there exist
two superconducting regions of nuQ3 separated by the nonsuperconducting region,
where nuQ3 is usually estimated from the peak position of the 59Co-NQR spectra
of the 5/2-7/2 transition and well-approximated here as nuQ3~3nuQ,nuQ being the
interaction energy between the nuclear quadrupole moment and the electric field
gradient. We have carried out measurements of the 59Co-NMR Knight shift (K) for
a single crystal in the higher-nuQ3 superconducting phase and found that K
begins to decrease with decreasing T at Tc for both magnetic field directions
parallel and perpendicular to CoO2-planes. The result indicates together with
the previous ones that the superconducting pairs are in the spin-singlet state
in both phases, excluding the possibility of the spin-triplet superconductivity
in this phase diagram. The superconductivity of this system spreads over the
wide nuQ3 regions, but is suppressed in the narrow region located at the middle
point of the region possibly due to charge instability.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Microscopic observation of superconducting fluctuations in -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Br by C NMR spectroscopy
We performed C-NMR experiment and measured spin-lattice relaxation
rate divided by temperature near the superconducting (SC) transition
temperature in -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Br (-Br
salt), and -(BEDT-TTF)Cu(NCS) (-NCS salt). We
observed the reduction of starting at the temperature higher than
in -Br salt. Microscopic observation of quasi-particle density of
states in the fluctuating SC state revealed the effects of short-range Cooper
pairs induced in the normal state to the quasi-particle density of states. We
also performed systematic measurements in the fields both parallel and
perpendicular to the conduction plane in -Br and -NCS salts,
and confirmed that the reduction of above is observed only
in -Br salt regardless of the external field orientation.Comment: Accepted for publication in PR
Photo-induced precession of magnetization in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As
Precession of magnetization induced by pulsed optical excitation is observed
in a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As by time-resolved magneto-optical
measurements. It appears as complicated oscillations of polarization plane of
linearly-polarized probe pulses, but is reproduced by gyromagnetic theory
incorporating an impulsive change in an effective magnetic field due to changes
in magnetic anisotropy. It is inferred from the shape of the impulse that the
changes in anisotropy result from non-equilibrium carrier population: cooling
of hot photo-carriers and subsequent annihilation of photo-carriers
Quantum network coding for quantum repeaters
This paper considers quantum network coding, which is a recent technique that
enables quantum information to be sent on complex networks at higher rates than
by using straightforward routing strategies. Kobayashi et al. have recently
showed the potential of this technique by demonstrating how any classical
network coding protocol gives rise to a quantum network coding protocol. They
nevertheless primarily focused on an abstract model, in which quantum resource
such as quantum registers can be freely introduced at each node. In this work,
we present a protocol for quantum network coding under weaker (and more
practical) assumptions: our new protocol works even for quantum networks where
adjacent nodes initially share one EPR-pair but cannot add any quantum
registers or send any quantum information. A typically example of networks
satisfying this assumption is {\emph{quantum repeater networks}}, which are
promising candidates for the implementation of large scale quantum networks.
Our results thus show, for the first time, that quantum network coding
techniques can increase the transmission rate in such quantum networks as well.Comment: 9 pages, 11figure
Equivalence principle in the new general relativity
We study the problem of whether the active gravitational mass of an isolated
system is equal to the total energy in the tetrad theory of gravitation. The
superpotential is derived using the gravitational Lagrangian which is invariant
under parity operation, and applied to an exact spherically symmetric solution.
Its associated energy is found equal to the gravitational mass. The field
equation in vacuum is also solved at far distances under the assumption of
spherical symmetry. Using the most general expression for parallel vector
fields with spherical symmetry, we find that the equality between the
gravitational mass and the energy is always true if the parameters of the
theory , and satisfy the condition, . In the two special cases where either or
is vanishing, however, this equality is not satisfied for the
solutions when some components of the parallel vector fields tend to zero as
for large .Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, published in Prog. Theor. Phys. 96 No.5 (1996
Current-feedback-stabilized laser system for quantum simulation experiments using Yb clock transition at 578 nm
We developed a laser system for the spectroscopy of the clock transition in
ytterbium (Yb) atoms at 578 nm based on an interference-filter stabilized
external-cavity diode laser (IFDL) emitting at 1156 nm. Owing to the improved
frequency-to-current response of the laser-diode chip and the less sensitivity
of the IFDL to mechanical perturbations, we succeeded in stabilizing the
frequency to a high-finesse ultra-low-expansion glass cavity with a simple
current feedback system. Using this laser system, we performed high-resolution
clock spectroscopy of Yb and found that the linewidth of the stabilized laser
was less than 320 Hz.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
