The high efficiency of a tunnel magnetic transistor as a source of spin-polarized electrons has been proven recently [X. Jiang {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 256603 (2003)]. A concept of this device based on an active group of hot…
The existence of chaotic behavior for the geodesics of the test particles orbiting compact objects is a subject of much current research. Some years ago, Gu\'eron and Letelier [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{66}, 046611 (2002)] reported the existence…
