We consider the response of an effective spin of a charge carrier to an adiabatic rotation of its crystal momentum induced by electric field. This rotation gives rise to Coriolis pseudo-force that is responsible for torque acting on the…

In this paper, we study the spin-spin interaction between two electrons bounded in a quantum dot. The result shows that spin-spin interaction will cause a pair of spins precessing synchronously. If the two spins are parallel at initial…
