It has recently been suggested that two counter-propagating, circularly polarized, ultra-intense lasers can induce a strong electron spin polarization at the magnetic node of the electromagnetic field that they setup. We confirm these…
Well-known Bloch equations describe the spin systems (electronic and nuclear) for any scale of time, from transient processes to steady states. Usually in solids T_2 << T_1. The question arises: what are the approximations that should be…

We theoretically predict a nonequilibrium phase transition in quantum spin systems induced by a laser, which provides a purely quantum-mechanical way of coherently controlling magnetization. Namely, when a circularly polarized laser is…

It is common practice to take for granted the equality (up to the constant $\varepsilon_0$) of the electric displacement ($\bf{D}$) and electric ($\bf{E}$) field vectors in vacuum. The same happens with the magnetic field ($\bf{H}$) and the…
There is a widely-held belief amongst theoreticians that the Gilbert damping parameter {\alpha} in magnetization dynamics is infinite for a pure metal at T=0. The basic error leading to this belief is pointed out explicitly and the various…

Thermal fluctuations of nanomagnets driven by spin-polarized currents are treated via the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation as generalized to include both the random thermal noise field and Slonczewski spin-transfer torque terms. The…
A relativistic spacecraft of the type envisioned by the Breakthrough Starshot initiative will inevitably get charged through collisions with interstellar particles and UV photons. Interstellar magnetic fields would, therefore, deflect the…
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe and are thought to play an important role in various astrophysical processes. Polarization of thermal dust emission from dust grains aligned with the magnetic field is widely used to measure…
We calculate the zero temperature electrostatic properties of charged one and two dimensional arrays of rings, in the classical and quantum limits. Each ring is assumed to be an ideal ring of negligible width, with exactly one electron on…
Diffferentially rotating stars can support significantly more mass in equilibrium than nonrotating or uniformly rotating stars, according to general relativity. The remnant of a binary neutron star merger may give rise to such a…
It is shown that particle motion in a bent (straight) crystal is accompanied by particle spin rotation and oscillations that allows to measure the tensor electric and magnetic polarizabilities of nuclei and elementary particles. It is shown…
The acceleration of polarized electrons and protons in strong laser and plasma fields is a very attractive option to obtain polarized beams in the GeV range. We investigate the feasibility of particle acceleration in strong fields without…
