Several techniques for choosing state assignments which tend to minimize the combinational input and output circuitry of sequential machines have been developed. One of these techniques is a heuristic scoring approach which was originally developed assuming delays as memory elements [1]. This technique was later expanded to cover the cases when trigger flip-flops or combinations of trigger flip...

We show theoretically that stimulated spin-flip Raman scattering can be used to inject spin currents in doped semiconductors with spin-split bands. A pure spin current, where oppositely oriented spins move in opposite directions, can be injected in zinc blende crystals and structures. The calculated spin current should be detectable by pump-probe optical spectroscopy and anomalous Hall effect m...

We have studied the absorption of electromagnetic radiation of an anisotropic quantum dot taking into account the spin-flip processes that is associated with the interaction of the electrons with optical phonons. It is shown that these processes lead to the resonance absorption. Explicit formula is derived for the absorption coefficient. The positions of the resonances peaks are found.

We show by means of analytical and numerical calculations that saturation, in combination with the linewidth-enhancement factor and the finite rate of spin-flip processes, causes a redshift of the spontaneous-emission peak with respect to the off-lasing-mode frequency in the optical spectrum of a quantum-well vertical-cavity surface emitting laser.
