On the form of Lorentz-Stern-Gerlach force

چکیده
In recent times there has been a renewed interest in the force experienced by a charged-particle with anomalous magnetic moment in the presence of external fields. In this paper we address the basic question of the force experienced by a spin2 point-like charged-particle with magnetic and electric moments in the presence of space-and time-dependent external electromagnetic fields, when derived from the Dirac equation via the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation technique. It is interesting to note that the force thus derived differs from the ones obtained by various other prescriptions.

9 Relativistic Stern - Gerlach Interaction in an RF Cavity
The general expression of the Stern-Gerlach force is deduced for a relativistic charged spin-1 2 particle which travels inside a time varying magnetic field. This result was obtained either by means of two Lorentz boosts or starting from Dirac's equation. Then, the utilization of this interaction for attaining the spin states separation is reconsidered in a new example using a new radio-frequen...
متن کاملSpin–orbit induced electronic spin separation in semiconductor nanostructures
The demonstration of quantized spin splitting by Stern and Gerlach is one of the most important experiments in modern physics. Their discovery was the precursor of recent developments in spin-based technologies. Although electrical spin separation of charged particles is fundamental in spintronics, in non-uniform magnetic fields it has been difficult to separate the spin states of charged parti...

This article describes the AC Stark, Stern-Gerlach, and Quantum Zeno effects as they are manifested during continuous interferometric measurement of a two-state quantum system (qubit). A simple yet realistic model of the interferometric measurement process is presented, and solved to all orders of perturbation theory in the absence of thermal noise. The statistical properties of the interferome...

The general expression of the Stern-Gerlach force is deduced for a charged particle, endowed with a magnetic moment, which travels inside a time varying magnetic field. Then, the energy integral of the Stern-Gerlach force is evaluated in the case of a particle crossing a TE rf cavity with its magnetic moment oriented in different ways with respect as the cavity axis. We shall demonstrate that a...
