We show that a quantum wire device with spin splitting can work as an active spin polarizer. Hot electrons in one `spin' subband (e.g. `spin-up') may pass such a device with weak electron pair scattering, while electrons in the opposite…
The polarization emerging in the subsequent scattering processes can never exceed $1$ which corresponds to the fully polarized pure state. This property is shown to be provided by the addition rule similar to that for relativistic…

We report that the true intrinsic degree of freedom of the photon is neither the polarization nor the spin. It describes a local property in momentum space and is represented in the local representation by the Pauli matrices. This result is…

In a previous work we showed that spin can be envisioned as living in a phase space that is dual to the standard phase space of position and momentum. In this work we demonstrate that the second class constraints inherent in this "Dual…
A rigorous mathematical proof is given of a class of vector identities that provide a way to separate an arbitrary vector field (over a linear space) into the sum of a radial (i.e., pointing toward the radial unit vector) vector field,…
We propose a Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic spin 1/2 \QTR{it}{free} particle (e.g. an electron) and find that it contains information of its internal degrees of freedom in the rest coordinate system. We comment on the dynamical symmetry…

A proposal for an electron-beam device that can act as an efficient spin-polarization filter has been recently put forward [E. Karimi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 044801 (2012)]. It is based on combining the recently developed diffraction…
The polarization dependence of the electromagnetic vertex for polarized proton is discussed. Such a dependence is shown to be a result of gluon polarization and gluon interactions with the constituents within proton. One more form factor is…
