Higher order time-correlators of spontaneous spin fluctuations reveal the information about spin interactions. We argue that in a broad class of spin systems one can justify a phenomenological approach to explore such correlators. Thus, we…
As devices to control spin currents using the spin-orbit interaction are proposed and implemented, it is important to understand the fluctuations that spin-orbit coupling can impose on transmission through a quantum dot. Using random matrix…
