A consistent phenomenological approach to the computation of transverse single spin asymmetries in inclusive hadron production is presented, based on the assumed generalization of the QCD factorization theorem to the case in which quark intrinsic motion is taken into account. New k⊥ and spin dependent quark distribution and fragmentation functions are considered: some of them are fixed by fitti...

If quenched to zero temperature, the one-dimensional Ising spin chain undergoes coarsening, whereby the density of domain walls decays algebraically in time. We show that this coarsening process can be interrupted by exerting a rapidly oscillating periodic field with enough strength to compete with the spin-spin interaction. By analyzing correlation functions and the distribution of domain leng...

We investigate the combined effect of spin-orbit scattering and electron-electron interactions on the probability distribution of g factors of metal nanoparticles. Using random matrix theory, we find that even a relatively small interaction strength significantly increases g-factor fluctuations for not-too-strong spin-orbit scattering (ratio of spin-orbit rate and single-electron level spacing ...

We report high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering experiments on the spin excitations of NaV(2)O(5). Below T(c), two branches with distinct energy gaps are identified. From the dispersion and intensity of the spin excitation modes, we deduce the precise zigzag charge distribution on the ladder rungs and the corresponding charge order: Delta(c) approximately 0.6. We argue that the spin gaps...

in the present work we use the negativity to study the effect of rashba parameter on the thermal entanglement ofelectronic spin and subband states inside a quasi-one-dimensional rashba nanowire, in a perpendicular uniformmagnetic field. we assume that the nanowire is held at a temperature t, so that both spin and subband states, withdefinite probabilities, are present. the partially transposed ...

Spin glasses are frustrated magnetic systems due to a random distribution of ferroand antiferromagnetic interactions. An experimental three dimensional (3d) spin glass exhibits a second order phase transition to a low temperature spin glass phase regardless of the spin dimensionality. In addition, the low temperature phase of Ising and Heisenberg spin glasses exhibits similar non-equilibrium dy...

A method for Monte Carlo simulation of 2D spin-polarized electron transport in III–V semiconductor heterojunction (FETs) is presented. In the simulation, the dynamics of the electrons in coordinate and momentum space is treated semiclassically. The density matrix description of the spin is incorporated in the Monte Carlo method to account for the spin polarization dynamics. The spin–orbit inter...

We study spin squeezing, an intrinsically quantum property, in the quantum kicked top model exhibiting chaotic behaviours in the classical limit. We show that spin squeezing can reveal the underlying chaotic and regular structures in phase space given by a sphere with a unit radius, namely, spin squeezing vanishes after a very short time for an initial spin coherent state centred in a chaotic r...

We propose a new method of spin squeezing of atomic spin, based on the interactions between atoms and off-resonant light which are known as paramagnetic Faraday rotation and the fictitious magnetic field of light. Since the projection process, squeezed light, or special interactions among the atoms are not required in this method, it can be widely applied to many systems. The attainable range o...
