Electron polarimeters based on Mott scattering are extensively used in different fields in physics such as atomic, nuclear or particle physics. This is because spin-dependent measurements gives additional information on the physical…
Quantum mechanical equations of motion are obtained for particles and spin in media with polarized electrons in the presence of external fields. The motion of electrons and their spins is governed by the exchange interaction, while the…
