We explore inherent characteristics of Tauc-Lorentz (TL) dielectric function model [Appl. Phys. Lett. <Emphasis Type="Bold">69, 371 (1996)] on the basis of relevant optical-constant data in the literature. It is found that the (single or multiple) TL model is strongly related to the one-oscillator Wemple-DiDomenico...</emphasis>

The long-wavelength properties of the (d + 1)-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation with both conservative and nonconservative noises are investigated by use of the dynamic renormalization-group (DRG) theory. The dynamic exponent z and roughness exponent α are calculated for substrate...

We numerically investigate an S=1/2 spin model, in which two dimerized antiferromagnetic rings interact with each other ferromagnetically. It is shown that the order of the magnetoelastic transition is strongly affected by the interring coupling J<Subscript>⊥</Subscript> and there may exist a critical J<Subscript>⊥</Subscript> <Superscript>*</Superscript>...</superscript></subscript></subscript>
