Scaling behavior of the quantum phase transition from an insulator to a quantum Hall plateau state has often been examined within systems realizing Landau levels. We study the topological transition in an energy-band model with nonzero Chern number, which has the same topological property as a Landau level. We find th…

A theoretical formula for the linewidth caused by thermal activation in a spin torque oscillator with a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer was developed by solving the stochastic Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation in the energy-phase representation. It is shown that the linewid…

Arid soils pose unique problems during measurement and interpretation of particle-size distributions (PSDs) because they often contain high concentrations of water-soluble salts. This study investigates the effects of sulfate and carbonate minerals on grain-size analysis by comparing analyses in water, in which the mi…

A previous transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed the existence of monoclinic Li2MnO3in the lithium-rich and oxygen-deficient Li1.07Mn1.93O4−δpowder. Interestingly, the monoclinic phase exhibits different nanoscale lamellar variants involving a rotation of the stacking direction by 120 or 240° along…

In this paper, we demonstrate that spoof surface magnon polaritons (SSMPs) can propagate along a corrugated perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) surface. From duality theorem, the existence of surface electromagnetic modes on corrugated PMC surfaces are manifest to be transverse electric (TE) mode compared with the transv…

Vibrational dynamics in triarylamine dendrimers was studied in a complementary way by Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies and incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (IINS). Three molecules were investigated, namely, unsubstituted triarylamine dendrimer of the first generation and two dendrimers of the first and se…

The antiferromagnetic ordered phase in ${\text{SmRu}}_{4}$${\text{P}}_{12}$ below the metal-insulator transition at ${T}_{\text{MI}}=16.5$ K with an unresolved transition at ${T}^{*}\ensuremath{\sim}14$ K has been studied by resonant and nonresonant x-ray diffraction in magnetic fields. In the intermediate phase, a no…

In endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), the carbon cage shields the endohedral species from the surrounding environment and can stabilize unusual clusters that otherwise would not exist. This review is focused on the behavior of the metal/π-system interface in EMFs under electron transfer conditions. We show that the…

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the brain of Protopterus annectens expressed L‐gulono‐γ‐lactone oxidase ( gulo /Gulo), the enzyme catalyzing the last step of ascorbate biosynthesis, and could maintain high concentrations of ascorbate during estivation. We cloned and sequenced gulo from the kidney of P. an…

We investigated the effect of the thickness of a 3C-SiC buffer layer on the growth of GaN on a Si substrate. GaN samples with thicknesses of 2.0 and 4.5 µm were grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Islands were observed at the initial growth of the GaN samples, and they became larger and then coalesced with eac…
