Spin flip probability of electron in a uniform magnetic field

Optics 2015-06-03 v2 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

The probability of a spin flip of an electron is calculated. It is assumed that the electron resides in a uniform magnetic field and interacts with an incoming electromagnetic pulse. The scattering matrix is constructed and the time needed to flip the spin is calculated.
