New experimental data on medium to heavy single Λ hypernuclei revealed a much larger spin-orbit splitting than observed in older measurements of light hypernuclei. Taking into account particle threshold effects and the density-dependence of inmedium coupling constants the apparent suppression of spin-orbit strength in light hypernuclei as well as the spin-orbit structure observed in medium to h...

Spin relaxation of a single electron in a weakly coupled double quantum dot is calculated numerically. The phonon-assisted spin flip is allowed by the presence of the linear and cubic spin– orbit couplings and nuclear spins. The rate is calculated as a function of the interdot coupling, the magnetic field strength and orientation, and the dot bias. In an in-plane magnetic field, the rate is str...

We study the connection between the spin-heat and spin-charge response in a disordered Fermi gas with spin-orbit coupling. It is shown that the ratio between the above responses can be expressed as the thermopower S = −(πkB )2T σ ′/3eσ times a number Rs which depends on the strength and type of the spin-orbit couplings considered. The general results are illustrated by examining different two-d...

The magnetic properties of strained thin films of gadolinium are characterized by a wave vector and thickness dependence of the exchange splitting. The spin-resolved band structure has been mapped by spin polarized photoemission, and provides considerable insight into the relationship between magnetism of local moment systems, and band structure. For more than 30 years theorists [l] have predic...

We explore spin and charge transport phenomena in two dimensional electron gas in presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling connected to two ideal Ferromagnetic leads. In particular we show through a combination of analytical and numerical calculation that the spin polarization which is transported depends on the Magnetization direction of ferromagnet even if the magneti-zation of both FM's are pa...

The effectiveness of decoherence suppression schemes is explored using quantum bits (qubits) stored in Li np Rydberg states. Following laser excitation, pulsed electric fields coherently control the electronic spin-orbit coupling, facilitating qubit creation, manipulation, and measurement. Spin-orbit coupling creates an approximate decoherence-free subspace for extending qubit storage times. Ho...
