  • The significant structure theory of liquids and the Bragg-Williams approximation of phase transition theory have been applied to the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of p-azoxyanisole which exhibits a liquid crystal phase of the nematic type. The isotropic phase was treated as a normal liquid; and for the nematic phase, in addition to its liquidity, the effect due to the arrangement of molecular-dipoles was considered. The liquidity of the p-azoxyanisole was described by the significant structure theory of liquids, and the Bragg-Williams approximation was used to consider the effect due to the arrangement of molecular-dipoles. The molar volume, vapor pressure, heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal expansion coefficient, compressibility, entropy and enthalpy change at the nematic-isotropic phase transition point, absolute entropy, and absolute Helmholtz free energy were calculated over the temperature range of the nematic and isotropic phases. The calculated results of the thermodynamic properties were compared with the experimental data.

  • The relativistic Weibel instability has drawn attention as a main mechanism of the magnetic generation in the core of galaxies or in the formation of universe. The Weibel instability is not yet fully understood in the relativistic region. We investigated nonlinear saturation and decay of the relativistic Weibel instability. It is found that the early phase of the instability is in excellent agreement with the linear theory. But, an analysis based on an alternative magnetic trapping saturation theory reveals that a substantial discrepancy between the theory and simulation is revealed in the relativistic regime in contrast to an excellent agreement in the non-relativistic regime. The analysis of the Weibel instability beyond the quasilinear saturation stage shows an inverse cascade process via a nonlinear decay instability involving electrostatic fluctuation.

  • Since the discovery of iron-based superconductors in 2008, extensive and intensive studies have been performed to find the microscopic theory for the high temperature superconductivity in the materials. Electronic structure is the basic and essential information that is needed for the microscopic theory. Experimentally, angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) is the most direct tool to obtain the electronic structure information, and therefore has played a vital role in the research. In this review, we review what has been done so far and what is needed to be done in ARPES studies of iron-based superconductors in search of the microscopic theory. This review covers issues on the band structure, orbital order/fluctuation, and gap structure/symmetries as well as some of the theories.

  • A method for observing intra blood vessel ducts which are threadlike bundle of tubules which form a part of the BongHan duct system. By injecting 10% dextrose solution at a vena femoralis one makes the intravascular BongHan duct thicker and stronger to be easily detectable after incision of vessels. The duct is semi-transparent, soft and elastic, and composed of smaller tubules whose diameters are of $10{\mu}m$ order, which is in agreement with BongHan theory.

  • An optical model based on the optical thin-film theory is derived to calculate the output radiance of small molecules organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We have designed the high efficiency OLEDs using the reflectance phase control of dielectric layers. It is found that OLED with a single $TiO_2$ dielectric layer is a good candidate to enhance the outcoupling efficiency and increase the color purity.

  • According to historical commentators such as Newton and Einstein, bodily behaviors are causally explained by the geometrical structure of space-time whose existence analogous to that of material substance. This essay challenges this conventional wisdom of interpreting space-time geometry within both Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. By tracing recent historical studies on the interpretation of space-time geometry, I defends that space-time structure is a by-product of a more fundamental fact, the laws of motion. From this perspective, I will argue that the causal properties of space-time cannot provide an adequate account of the theory-change from Newtoninan to Einsteinian physics.

  • It is shown that progressive crystallization of non-magnetostrictive Co-based metallic glass (VITROVAC 6030) leads to an increase of coercivity by more than three orders of magnitude. The mechani는 responsible for this phenomenon are interpreted showing that the main source for the giant increase of the coercivity is the pinning effect on the domain walls originating from the created crystallites of the size much smaller than the domain width (correlation length for ferromagnetic exchange interactions). It is also shown that gradually devitrified non-magnetostrictive metallic glass is an excellent model material for verification of N el's theory describing the Rayleigh rule.
