Silicon is promising for spin-based quantum computation because nuclear spins, a source of magnetic noise, may be eliminated through isotopic enrichment. Long spin decoherence times, $T_2$, have been measured in isotope-enriched silicon but…
A well known description of superradiance from pointlike collections of many atoms involves the dissipative motion of a large spin. The pertinent ``superradiance master equation'' allows for a formally exact solution which we subject to a…
The D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation induced by the spin-orbit interaction is examined in disordered two-dimensional electron gas. It is shown that, because of the electron-electron interactions different spin relaxation rates can be…
Drift-diffusion theory - which fully describes charge transport in semiconductors - is also universally used to model transport of spin-polarized electrons in the presence of longitudinal electric fields. By transforming spin transit time…
We study decoherence of propagating spin-1/2 excitations in generic (non-integrable and/or disordered) spin chains. We find the relevant decoherence times to be shorter in both the near-critical and diffusive regimes (if any), which fact…
We show that it is possible to obtain self-consistent and physically acceptable relativistic classical equations of motion for a point-like spin-half particle possessing an electric charge and a magnetic dipole moment, directly from a…
A theory for longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) electron spin coherence times in zincblende semiconductor quantum wells is developed based on a non-perturbative nanostructure model solved in a fourteen-band restricted basis set.…
Electromagnetic spins, including longitudinal and transverse ones, have been playing important roles in light-matter interactions. Here, we formulate a unified equation to uncover the physical origins and topological properties of…
We give a further step in the quantum mechanical description of engineered atomic spin structures by deriving a master equation of the Redfield type that governs the dynamics of the atomic spin density matrix. By generalizing this approach…
Recently, a longitudinal sum rule for the electric polarizability of nuclei was used to revise a relativistic correction in a dipole sum rule for the polarizability (nucl-th/9802011). This revision is shown to be wrong because of neglecting…
Decoherence of a localized electron spin in a solid state material (the ``central spin'' problem) at low temperature is believed to be dominated by interactions with nuclear spins in the lattice. This decoherence is partially suppressed…
Account of an intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in the valence bands of common semiconductors yields the scalar spin-orbit-rotation term in the effective-mass Hamiltonian of the conduction-band electron. This result is obtained within the…
This note looks at the possibility of a system of free particles presenting decoherence in the total momentum when tracing upon their relative momenta if we take into account a relativistic correction to the expression of the kinetic…
The main point of Clarke and Strong's comment, namely that our results concerning the effect of integrability on the hopping of electrons between chains are probably not related to the notion of coherence proposed in \cite{clarke}, is…
The present work is a comment on PRL 98, 190401 (2007), arXiv:0705.0667 . The authors reported NMR measurements in solids with different pulse sequences. In some multiple $\pi$ pulse echo trains they observed coherent signals of several…
We study decoherence processes of an S = 1/2 localized spin coupled to conduction band electrons in a metal or a semiconductor via an Ising-like interaction. We derive master equations for the density matrix of the localized spin, by…
A new, hybrid design is proposed to eliminate the main systematic errors in the frozen spin, storage ring measurement of the proton electric dipole moment. In this design, electric bending plates steer the particles, and magnetic focusing…
We perform a global fit using results of searches for electric dipole moments (EDM) of diamagnetic systems within the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. In this way, we disentangle the new "left-right" electroweak and…
We study a scheme for electrical detection, using electron spin resonance, of coherent vibrations in a molecular single electron level trapped near a conduction channel. Both equilibrium spin-currents and non-equilibrium spin- and charge…
Spin and orbital angular momenta are two intrinsic properties of an electron and are responsible for the physics of a solid. How the spin and orbital evolve with respect to each other on several hundred femtoseconds is largely unknown, but…
