We report results of calculations of the effect of spin-orbit interaction on electron spin relaxation in a lateral quantum dot. Our study is motivated by puzzling results of high source-drain transport measurements of singlet-triplet transitions of two electrons in lateral and vertical devices that show a strong asymmetry as a function of the applied magnetic field. Using exact diagonalization ...

The electronic properties of silicene are distinct from both the conventional two dimensional electron gas and the famous graphene due to strong spin orbit interaction and the buckled structure. Silicene has the potential to overcome limitations encountered for graphene, in particular the zero band gap and weak spin orbit interaction. We demonstrate a valley polarized quantum Hall effect and to...

Effects of the spin orbit-force on hadronic systems with strangeness or charm are investigated by a valence quark model with the instanton-induced interaction. By introducing this interaction, the spin-orbit splittings in the negative-parity hyperons becomes 0.14 – 0.37 times smaller. The flavor-octet baryon mass spectrum and the splittings in the charmed baryons become consistent with the expe...

The effects of the spin-orbit and the tensor parts of the instanton-induced interaction on the excited nonstrange baryons up to N=2 and on the two-nucleon systems are investigated. The spin-orbit force from the instanton-induced interaction cancels most of that from the one-gluon exchange in the excited baryons while the spin-orbit force in the nucleon systems remains strong after the inclusion...

We investigate a spinful double quantum dot coupled to leads in pseudospin valve configuration. The interplay of interaction and interference produces, the stability diagram, rich variety current resonances modulated by system parameters. In presence ferromagnetic anisotropy, those split, turn into dips, acquire Fano shape, thus revealing synthetic spin-orbit induced on dot. A set rate equation...

During LEP Operation for Luminosity production, the closed orbit is systematically corrected towards a reference orbit which has been empirically found to produce high luminosities. Machine studies have been undertaken to try and understand the mechanism by which the vertical closed orbit affects the luminosity. The dominant parameter has been found to be the residual vertical dispersion, in pa...
