We have prepared polycrystalline samples of the Ruddlesden-Popper La 2-2x Ca 1+2x Mn 2 O 7 phase and determined their crystal structure and thermoelectric properties above room temperature. Single-phase samples with tetragonal I4/mmm space group are obtained for the samples with 0.50 les x les 1.00; the corresponding valence state of Mn is from 3.5 to 4.0. With increasing x, the a-axis length gradually decreases from 3.8268(4) Aring (x = 0.5) to 3.7078(2) Aring (x = 1.0), while the c-axis length increases from 19.197(3) Aring(x = 0.5) to 19.438(1) Aring(x = 1.0). As expected, all the samples exhibit negative Seebeck coefficients, S. The absolute value of S increases with increasing x, and the phases become electrically conductive at high temperatures. For example, the sample with x = 0.50 exhibits the electrical conductivity, sigma = 35 S/cm and S = -40muV/K at 1123 K, compared with those of the sample with x = 0.95 of sigma = 18 S/cm and S = -175 muV/K. The highest ZT ~0.03 with the power factor of 5.5 x 10 -5 W/mK 2 , has been obtained for the x = 0.95 sample at 1123 K.

Electronic structure of stripe ordered La2−xSrxNiO4 is investigated. The system with x=13 is insulator, in LSDA+U calculations, and shows charge and spin stripe, consistent with the experimental results. A highly correlated system of x=12 is studied by using exact diagonalization of the multiorbital many-body Hamiltonian derived from LDA calculations and including on-site and intersite Coulomb interactions. The fluctuation of the residual spin on Ni3+ (hole) site couples with the charge fluctuation between Ni3+ and Ni2+ states and this correlation lowers the total energy. The resultant ground state is an insulator with charge and spin stripe of the energy gap 0.9eV, consistent with the observed one. The on-site Coulomb interaction stabilizes integral valency of each Ni ion (Ni3+ and Ni2+), but does not induce the charge order. Two quantities, intersite Coulomb interaction and anisotropy of hopping integrals, play an important role to form the charge and spin stripe order in a system of x=12.

We have demonstrated purification of a single qubit by two collinear photons, one of which was time-delayed. Our method can be applied to a single qubit many times, and the qubit can be purified to an arbitrarily high degree of purity. Thus, by repeating this method we can make the statistical error that single qubits incur along a transmission channel much smaller.
Systematic ion substitution has been performed on the Co site in the rock-salt (RS)-type [Ca 2 CoO 3 ] subsystem of misfit-layered cobalt oxide [Ca 2 (Co 1-x A x )O 3-delta ] 0.62 CoO 2 (A = Nb, Ru, Ta, Pb, W, La an...

Systematic ion substitution has been performed on the Co site in the rock-salt (RS)-type [Ca 2 CoO 3 ] subsystem of misfit-layered cobalt oxide [Ca 2 (Co 1-x A x )O 3-delta ] 0.62 CoO 2 (A = Nb, Ru, Ta, Pb, W, La and Zr). The oxygen deficiency delta and the decomposition temperature T d of the substituted samples have been determined by means of the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Upon heating, the oxygen atoms are gradually released from the RS-type subsystem up to delta~0.10. A small amount (x = 0.10) of the substitution remarkably increases T d from 1173 K (x = 0) up to 1246 K (A = Nb). The Pb-substituted samples show substantial decrease in electrical resistivity p from 19.2 mOmegacm to 13.8 mOmegacm (x = 0.10) at 950 K. The highest thermoelectric power, S 2 p -1 = 2.1times10 -4 WK -2 m -1 , is realized for the Pb-substituted sample with x = 0.10 at 950 K

Several theories and program codes were developed for large-scale atomistic simulations with fully quantum mechanical description of electron systems. The fundamental concepts are generalized Wannier state and Krylov subspace. Test calculations were carried out with upto 106 atoms using a standard workstation. How electronic state is described in large-scale calculation was demonstrated on Si(001)-(2×1) surface. As a practical application, cleavage fracture of silicon was simulated with 10-nm-scale samples for investigating its nanoscale mechanical behavior. Discussions are focused on the unstable (001) cleavage mode and the stable (experimentally observed) (111)-(2×1) cleavage mode. As well as elementary surface reconstruction, step formation and bending in cleavage path were observed. These results were compared with experiments, such as scanning tunneling microscope (STM).

A linear algebraic method named the shifted conjugate-orthogonal conjugate-gradient method is introduced for large-scale electronic structure calculation. The method gives an iterative solver algorithm of the Green’s function and the density matrix without calculating eigenstates. The problem is reduced to independent linear equations at many energy points and the calculation is actually carried out only for a single energy point. The method is robust against the round-off error and the calculation can reach the machine accuracy. With the observation of residual vectors, the accuracy can be controlled, microscopically, independently for each element of the Green’s function, and dynamically, at each step in dynamical simulations. The method is applied to both a semiconductor and a metal.

The electronic structure of A-type antiferromagnetic insulator LaMnO3 is investigated by the GW approximation. The band gap and spectrum are in a good agreement with experimental observation. The lifetime of electrons in conduction bands is much shorter than that of holes in valence bands. The insulator-to-metal transition with antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transition with photocarrier injection is attributed to the characteristic properties of excited electron states in A-type antiferromagnetic perovskite systems. The onsite d−d Coulomb interaction is strongly screened at the low energy region by mobile eg electrons.
