A key factor in determining the potential habitability of synchronously rotating planets is the strength of the atmospheric boundary layer inversion between the dark side surface and the free atmosphere. Here we analyse data obtained from…
In contrast to a "single particle table-top trap", an essential feature of a storage ring "trap" is that $10^{10}$ or more particles can have their spins aligned in a polarized beam. This is a nunber of polarized particles large enough for…
We report electronic control and measurement of an imbalance between spin-up and spin-down electrons in micron-scale open quantum dots. Spin injection and detection was achieved with quantum point contacts tuned to have spin-selective…
We study the anomalous $W^-W^+\gamma/Z$ couplings in $e^-e^+\to W^-W^+$ followed by semileptonic decay using a complete set of polarization and spin correlation observables of $W$ boson with the longitudinally polarized beam. We consider a…
We consider spin-vorticity coupling - the generation of spin polarization by vorticity - in viscous two-dimensional electron systems with spin-orbit coupling. We first derive hydrodynamic equations for spin and momentum densities in which…
Recent studies identified spin-order-driven phenomena such as spin-charge interconversion without relying on the relativistic spin-orbit interaction. Those physical properties can be prominent in systems containing light magnetic atoms due…
Modern cosmology rests on the cosmological principle, that on large enough scales the Universe is both homogeneous and isotropic. A corollary is that galaxies' spin vectors should be isotropically distributed on the sky. This has been…
It has been claimed that the coherent scattering of relic neutrinos with the Earth will result in a neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-4})$ on the Earth surface, which is five orders of magnitude larger than the naive…
We construct a spin-drift-diffusion model to describe spin-polarized electron transport in zincblende semiconductors in the presence of magnetic fields, electric fields, and off-diagonal strain. We present predictions of the model for…
Strong rotating magnetic fields may cause a precession of the electron's spin around the rotation axis of the magnetic field. The superposition of two counterpropagating laser beams with circular polarization and opposite helicity features…
We have constrained possible new interactions which produce nonrelativistic potentials between polarized neutrons and unpolarized matter proportional to $\alpha\vec{\sigma}\cdot\vec{v}$ where $\vec{\sigma}$ is the neutron spin and $\vec{v}$…
Spin and polarization are central to precision tests of fundamental physics and for interpreting radiation from astrophysical sources and ultraintense laser-matter experiments. Predictive modeling therefore requires not only energy spectra,…
Spin-orbit coupling is a single-particle phenomenon known to generate topological order, and electron-electron interactions cause ordered many-body phases to exist. The rich interplay of these two mechanisms is present in a broad range of…
An expansion of the nearly free-electron model constructed by Frantzeskakis, Pons and Grioni [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 82}, 085440 (2010)] describing quantum states at Bi/Si(111) interface with giant spin-orbit coupling is developed and applied…
Spin-dependent electric dipole operators are investigated group-theoretically for the emergence of an electric dipole induced by a single spin or by two spins, where the spin dependences are completely classified up to the quadratic order.…
Data from the muon g-2 experiment at Brookhaven National Lab has been analyzed to search for a muon electric dipole moment(EDM), which would violate parity and time reversal symmetries. An EDM would cause a tilt in the spin precession plane…

From a purely none-general relativistic standpoint, we solve the empty space Poisson equation ($\nabla^{2}\Phi=0$) for an azimuthally symmetric setting, i.e., for a spinning gravitational system like the Sun. We seek the general solution of…
