Spatially nonhomogeneously spin polarized nuclei are proposed as a new mechanism to monitor electron states in a nanostructure, or as a means to createn and, if necessary, reshape such nanostructures in the course of the experiment. We…
Relaxation of conduction electron spins in a semiconductor owing to the hyperfine interaction with spin-1/2 nuclei, in zero applied magnetic field, is investigated. We calculate the electron spin relaxation time scales, in order to evaluate…

The wavefunction of a collection of identical quantum particles of integer spin (bosons) is even under exchange of the coordinates of any two of them. This symmetrization rule of quantum mechanics leads to stimulation of the scattering rate…
The induced surface charges appear to diverge when dielectric particles form close contacts. Resolving this singularity numerically is prohibitively expensive because high spatial resolution is needed. We show that the strength of this…
I review recent developments in spin dynamics in electron storage rings and accelerators.
Electron storage rings of GeV energy with laser pulse stacking cavities are promising intense sources of polarised hard photons which, via pair production, can be used to generate polarised positron beams. Dynamics of electron bunches…
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 measured the polarization memory of excitonic and biexcitonic optical transitions from single quantum dots at either positive, negative or neutral charge states. Positive, negative and no circular or linear polarization memory was…

Kinetics of the polarization buildup at the interaction of stored protons (antiprotons) with a polarized target is considered. It is demonstrated that for small scattering angles, when a projectile remains in the beam, the polarization…

In a system where a boson (e.g, a phonon) of finite frequency $\omega_0$ is coupled to electrons, two phenomena occur as the coupling is increased: electron pairing and polarization of the boson field. Within a path integral formalism and a…
Electron bunches with charge densities $\rho$ of the order of $10^2$ to $10^3$ [nC/cm$^3$], energies between $20.$ and $100.$ [MeV], peak current $>100$ [A], bunch lengths between 0.3 and 1.8 [cm], and bunch charge of 2.0 to $20.$ [nC] are…

Precision measurements in storage rings are increasingly limited by the ability to monitor collective spin dynamics coherently over long time scales. Existing polarimetry techniques rely on destructive scattering processes that preclude…
Polariton polarization can be described in terms of a pseudospin which can be oriented along the $x,\,y,$ or $z$ axis, similarly to electron and hole spin. Unlike electrons and holes where time-reversal symmetry requires that the spin-orbit…
