We study high-field spin transport in a quantum wire using a semiclassical approach. Spin dephasing (or spin depolarization) in the wire is caused by D’yakonov-Perel’ relaxation associated with bulk inversion asymmetry (Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling) and structural inversion asymmetry (Rashba spin-orbit coupling). The depolarization rate is found to depend strongly on the initial polarization...

our main objective is a better understanding of spin spin interaction of dinuclear copper(ii) complexes through  system. the synthesis and characterization of two new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes, based on the use of large, pyrole-containing macrocycles, the so called “ expanded porphyrins” , [cu2(macrocycle)]4+ is described. a chloroform solution spectrum of two complexes taken at room tem...

The control of ultracold collisions between neutral atoms is an extensive and successful field of study. The tools developed in this field allow for ultracold chemical reactions to be managed using magnetic fields1, light fields2 and spin-state manipulation of the colliding particles3 among other methods. Control of chemical reactions in ultracold atom-ion collisions is a young and growing fiel...

We experimentally demonstrate the use of a single electronic spin to measure the quantum dynamics of distant individual nuclear spins from within a surrounding spin bath. Our technique exploits coherent control of the electron spin, allowing us to isolate and monitor nuclear spins weakly coupled to the electron spin. Specifically, we detect the evolution of distant individual 13C nuclear spins ...

The interconversion of ortho-hydrogen (oH(2)) and para-hydrogen (pH(2)), the two nuclear spin isomers of dihydrogen, requires a paramagnetic spin catalyst such as a nitroxide. We report the design and demonstration of spin catalysis of the interconversion of oH(2) and pH(2) incarcerated in an endofullerene based on a reversible nitroxide/hydroxylamine system. The system is an example of a rever...

We calculate spin relaxation rates in lateral quantum dot systems due to electron exchange between dots and leads. Using rate equations, we develop a theoretical description of the experimentally observed electric current in the spin blockade regime of double quantum dots. A single expression fits the entire current profile and describes the structure of both the conduction peaks and the suppre...

The problem of plastic spin is phrased in terms of a notion of mechanical equivalence among local intermediate configurations of an elastic/plastic crystalline solid. This idea is used to show that, without further qualification, the plastic spin may be suppressed at the constitutive level. However, the spin is closely tied to an underlying undistorted crystal lattice which, once specified, eli...

Angle resolved magneto-Raman scattering has been performed on spin-polarized two dimensional electron gas embedded in Cd1−xMnxTe quantum wells to explore the intrinsic damping of propagating spin waves modes with in plane momentum q. The damping rate η follows a quadratic law η = η0+η2q 2 due to losses in the spin-current driven by the magnetization in qualitative agreement with Phys.Rev.B 78, ...

Using a Boltzmann equation approach, we analyze how the spin drag of a trapped interacting fermionic mixture is influenced by the nonhomogeneity of the system in a classical regime where the temperature is much larger than the Fermi temperature. We show that for very elongated geometries, the spin damping rate can be related to the spin conductance of an infinitely long cylinder. We characteriz...

Resistively detected nuclear spin relaxation measurements in closely separated two-dimensional electron systems reveal strong low-frequency electron-spin fluctuations in the quantum Hall regime. As the temperature is decreased, the spin fluctuations, manifested by a sharp enhancement of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1, continue to grow down to the lowest temperature of 66 millikel...
