We compare three attempts that have been made to decompose the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into components of an "orbital" and "spin" nature. All three expressions are different and it appears, on the basis of classical…
We employ an atomic spin model and present a systematic investigation from a single spin to a large system of over a million spins. To have an efficient spin switching, the electron initial momentum direction must closely follow the spin's…
