چکیده

We use the recently developed model of the electron spins within Earth to investigate all of the six possible long-range velocity-dependent spin-spin interactions associated with the exchange of an ultralight (mz'<10(-10) eV) or massless intermediate vector boson. Several laboratory experiments have established upper limits on the energy associated with various fermion-spin orientations relative to Earth. We combine the results from three of these experiments with the geoelectron-spin model to obtain bounds on the velocity-dependent interactions that couple electron spin to the spins of electrons, neutrons, and protons. Five of the six possible potentials investigated were previously unbounded. In the long-range limit we have improved the bound on the sixth potential by 30 orders of magnitude.

Using the Earth as a polarized electron source to search for long-range spin-spin interactions.

Many particle-physics models that extend the standard model predict the existence of long-range spin-spin interactions. We propose an approach that uses the Earth as a polarized spin source to investigate these interactions. Using recent deep-Earth geophysics and geochemistry results, we create a comprehensive map of electron polarization within the Earth induced by the geomagnetic field. We ex...

Electronic Spin Transitions of Iron and Geoelectrons in Earth’s Mantle

Based on a pyrolitic compositional model, the lower mantle is mainly made of ferropericlase, aluminous silicate perovskite, and calcium perovskite. Silicate perovskite transforms into silicate post-perovskite structure just above the core-mantle region, the D" layer. The existence of iron in the lower-mantle minerals can affect a broad spectrum of the minerals’ physical and chemical properties....

Thermodynamic properties of polarized liquid 3He along different isentropic paths

The dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3He such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. The Lennard-Jones potential has been used in our calculations. It has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greate...
