A Wigner crystal formed with trapped ion can undergo structural phase transition, which is determined only by the mechanical conditions on a classical level. Instead of this classical result, we show that through consideration of quantum…
Particles scattered off the nuclear target acquire a polarization if the nuclei have a non zero analyzing power. This effect is enhanced when particles traverse a bent crystal. Such enhancement under certain assumptions allows one to…
