超対称量子力学に基づき、反強磁性スカーミオン構造を有する磁壁中のマグノンのトポロジカル量子輸送物性を明らかにする。スカーミオン型の磁気構造を有する磁壁中を伝搬するマグノンは、一種のゲージ場として作用する有効磁場を獲得する。そこで、この有効磁場中でのマグノンの反射・屈折現象を超対称量子力学に基づいて解析し、その伝搬および束縛マグノン状態を明らかにする。そして、ラウダウアー公式を用いて、磁壁のカイラリティが増加するにつれてマグノンによる熱流が減少することを明らかにする。本研究はスピンホール効果を活用した熱流の制御方法を理論的に提案する。

Spin and lattice are two fundamental degrees of freedom in a solid, and their fluctuations about the equilibrium values in a magnetic ordered crystalline lattice form quasiparticles termed magnons (spin waves) and phonons (lattice waves), respectively. In most materials with strong spin-lattice coupling (SLC), the interaction of spin and lattice induces energy gaps in the spin wave dispersion at the nominal intersections of magnon and phonon modes. Here we use neutron scattering to show that in the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals honeycomb lattice ferromagnetic CrGeTe, spin waves propagating within the 2D plane exhibit an anomalous dispersion, damping, and breakdown of quasiparticle conservation, while magnons along the c axis behave as expected for a local moment ferromagnet. These results indicate the presence of dynamical SLC arising from the zero-temperature quantum fluctuations in CrGeTe, suggesting that the observed in-plane spin waves are mixed spin and lattice quasiparticles fundamentally different from pure magnons and phonons.

We have developed a time-of-flight (ToF) array consisting of 24 plastic scintillators for triggering and timing measurements in a series of planned experiments to study double-strangeness hadronic and nuclear systems at the K1.8 beamline of J-PARC. Each ToF scintillator is 180 cm long with a cross-section of 83 cm and is read out by H1949-50 photomultiplier tubes at both ends. The timing and attenuation properties of the scintillators are measured using cosmic-ray muons and rays from . The cosmic-ray muon events are triggered by three pairs of 120-cm-long plastic scintillators, sandwiching the ToF array. The intrinsic time resolutions of the scintillators are estimated to be in the range 60-100 ps, which is adequate for reliable separation between and at 1.2 GeV/. The attenuation length is measured to be approximately 210 cm, which is half that for a bulk scintillator.
