Publications(January 2002 - December 2002)

1. S. S. Kano, Y. Zempo, T. Kasuga, and Y. Oyanagi, "Computational Physics", Vol.1 (295 pages), Vol.2 (447 pages), Japanese translation of the book by R. H. Landau, Asakura Shoten, Tokyo, 2001.
   Abstract - Help students master real-world problems as they develop new insight into the physical sciences. Problems in the physical sciences that once baffled and frustrated scientists can now be solved easily with the aid of a computer. Computers can quickly complete complex calculations, provide numerical simulations of natural systems, and explore the unknown. Computational Physics shows students how to use computers to solve scientific problems and understand systems at a level previously possible only in a research environment. Adaptable to a ten-week class or a full-year course, it provides C and Fortran programs that can be modified and rewritten as needed to implement a wide range of computational projects.
2. S. S. Kano, H. Kano and M. Ichimura, "Basic Calculus," Part 1 (229 pages) and Part 2 (388 pages), Japanese translation of the book by A. J. Hahn, Springer-Verlag, Tokyo, 2001 and 2002.
   Abstract - The approach to basic calculus is driven by the responses of the masters of mathematics to the important problems of their day. Part I develops calculus along with the necessary trigonometry and analytic geometry within a historical context, while Part II looks at more rigorous constructs and shows how calculus informs and enlightens in today's world of science, engineering, and business. This text is most suitable for a modern calculus course of intellectual substance, or an Honors Calculus or History of Mathematics course.
3. A. Bandara, S. S. Kano, K. Onda, S. Katano, J. Kubota, K. Domen, C. Hirose, and A. Wada, "SFG spectroscopy of CO/Ni(111): UV pumping and the transient hot band transition of adsorbed CO", Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 75, 1125-1132, 2002.
   Abstract - Picosecond transient sum-frequency generation spectra of CO/Ni(111) were observed under irradiation of 266 nm UV pulse. Transient hot band (νCO = 2 ← 1) transition of adsorbed CO was found by analysis based on a dipole-dipole interaction model with the coherent potential approximation.
4. J. Kubota, A. Wada, K. Domen and S. S. Kano, "Transient response of SFG spectra of D2O-ice/CO/Pt(111) interface with irradiation of ultra-short NIR pump pulses", Chem. Phys. Lett., Vol. 362, 476-482, 2002.
   Abstract - A transient response, followed by a near-IR (NIR) pump pulse of 35 ps, of 10 molecular layers of D2O ice on CO/Pt(111) at 130 K in ultrahigh vacuum was investigated by sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The D2O ice crystalline phase changed, without desorption of D2O to the gas phase, to an amorphous or a liquid-like phase due to the pumping, and it recovered to the crystalline phase in a sub nanosecond time scale.
