Using a range of fusion power plant (FPP) concepts, we demonstrate that spin-polarized fuel (SPF) can significantly enhance net electric power output, often by many multiples. Notably, the electric power gain from SPF generally exceeds the…

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…

We investigate electrically-induced spin currents generated by the spin Hall effect in GaAs structures that distinguish edge effects from spin transport. Using Kerr rotation microscopy to image the spin polarization, we demonstrate that the…

A method for Monte Carlo simulation of 2D spin-polarized electron transport in III-V semiconductor heterojunction FETs is presented. In the simulation, the dynamics of the electrons in coordinate and momentum space is treated…

Chiral induced spin selectivity is a phenomenon that has been attributed to chirality, spin-orbit interactions, and non-equilibrium conditions, while the role of electron exchange and correlations have been investigated only marginally…

It is shown that, for appropriate values of electron energy, the silicene dot can work as a controllable spin polarizer. The spin polarizer can polarize the spin of transmitted electrons from nearly pure down to nearly pure up by changing…

The creation of free excitons by absorption of circularly polarized photons, and their subsequent fast capture by donors, is at the origin of the spin polarization of donor-bound electrons. The sign of the electronic spin polarization at…

We theoretically investigate the indirect optical injection of carriers and spins in bulk silicon, using an empirical pseudopotential description of electron states and an adiabatic bond charge model for phonon states. We identify the…

Detection of the degree of circular polarization of the electroluminescence of a light-emitting diode fitted with a spin injecting contact (a spin-LED) allows for a direct determination of the spin polarization of the injected carriers.…

Studies of spin manipulation in semiconductors has benefited from the possibility to grow these materials in high quality on top of optically active III-V systems. The induced electroluminescence in these layered semiconductor…

Silicon-based ion trap chips can benefit from existing advanced fabrication technologies, such as multi-metal layer techniques for two-dimensional architectures and silicon photonics for the integration of on-chip optical components.…

Solar energy is clean and renewable but has a low flux density. The lack of a continuous and reliable power supply reduces their average daily output. Since the infrared part is not utilized to produce electricity, conventional photovoltaic…

A spin-polarizing electron beam splitter is described which relies on an arrangement of linearly polarized laser waves of nonrelativistic intensity. An incident electron beam is first coherently scattered off a bichromatic laser field,…

We consider spin-polarized transport in a quantum spin Hall antidot system coupled to normal leads. Due to the helical nature of the conducting edge states, the screening potential at the dot region becomes spin dependent without external…

We study the spin polarization of the electrons on the surface of topological insulators under a dc electric field or a circularly polarized light by using Keldysh Green's function formalism. When a dc electric field $E_x \sim 10^{3} {\rm…

A proposal for an electron-beam device that can act as an efficient spin-polarization filter has been recently put forward [E. Karimi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 044801 (2012)]. It is based on combining the recently developed diffraction…

The spin Hall effect (SHE) is normally discussed in terms of a spin current, which is ill-defined in strongly spin-orbit-coupled systems because of spin non-conservation. In this work we propose an alternative view of SHE phenomena by…

We describe measurements of spin-polarized tunnelling via discrete energy levels of single Aluminum grains. In high resistance samples ($\sim G\Omega$), the spin-polarized tunnelling current rapidly saturates as a function of the bias…
