Spin susceptibilities, spin densities, and their connection to spin currents
We calculate the frequency-dependent spin susceptibilities for a two-dimensional electron gas with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. The resonances of the susceptibilities depend on the relative values of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit constants, which could be manipulated by gate voltages. We derive exact continuity equations, with source terms, for the spin density a...
متن کاملTorsion-induced spin precession
We investigate the motion of a spinning test particle in a spatially-flat FRW-type space-time in the framework of the Einstein-Cartan theory. The space-time has a torsion arising from a spinning fluid filling the space-time. We show that for spinning particles with nonzero transverse spin components, the torsion induces a precession of particle spin around the direction of the fluid spin. We al...
متن کاملSpin currents and spin superfluidity
The present review analyzes and compares various types of dissipationless spin transport: (1) Superfluid transport, when the spin-current state is a metastable state (a local but not the absolute minimum in the parameter space). (2) Ballistic spin transport, when spin is transported without losses simply because sources of dissipation are very weak. (3) Equilibrium spin currents, i.e., genuine ...
متن کاملSpin-to-charge conversion of mesoscopic spin currents.
Recent theoretical investigations have shown that spin currents can be generated by passing electric currents through spin-orbit coupled mesoscopic systems. Measuring these spin currents has, however, not been achieved to date. We show how mesoscopic spin currents in lateral heterostructures can be measured with a single-channel voltage probe. In the presence of a spin current, the charge curre...
متن کاملUsing Oscillating Sounds to Manipulate Sleep Spindles.
Introduction EEG oscillations known as sleep spindles have been linked with various aspects of cognition, but the specific functions they signal remain controversial. Two types of EEG sleep spindles have been distinguished: slow spindles at 11-13.5 Hz and fast spindles at 13.5-16 Hz. Slow spindles exhibit a frontal scalp topography, whereas fast spindles exhibit a posterior scalp topography and...
