Many-body effects in spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas

Many-body effects on the spin polarization are studied in an n channel inversion layer on Si (1 0 0) surface in a magnetic field parallel to the surface in random phase approximation. The spin polarization exhibits a discrete jump to a full polarization at the critical magnetic field in the low-density regime and the critical field is reduced considerably from that estimated by an extrapolation based on the zero-field susceptibility.     

Effect of a weak magnetic field on resonant features of conductance in an open circular billiard with Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction

The effect of a weak magnetic field on the transport properties of an open circular billiard with attached channels in the presence of Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction are considered. It is shown that the application of a magnetic field leads to splitting of the Fano resonances, which were found earlier on the energy dependence of conductance, into pairs of resonances with half lower amplitudes. The relationship between the energy values to which these resonances collapse when the spin-orbit interaction is absent, and the levels of the energy spectrum in the corresponding closed billiard has been established. It is shown also that the applied magnetic field induces a qualitative change in the spin polarization of a wave in the output channel.     

Dynamic magnetoelectric effect in terbium molybdate

The electric polarization induced in ferroelectric terbium molybdate by a magnetic field linearly varying with time is measured. The measurements are performed in fields up to 19 T at different specified rates of change in the magnetic field at temperatures of 273 and 219 K. The results obtained indicate that there are magnetoelectric effects of two types. One of them is a conventional magnetoelectric effect, which is appropriately referred to as the static magnetoelectric effect. The other effect is characterized by the fact that the electric polarization increases with an increase in the rate of change in the magnetic field and relaxes with time to zero at a fixed nonzero field. This phenomenon is termed the dynamic magnetoelectric effect.     

Polarized nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates of spinor exciton polaritons in a magnetic field

The effect of a magnetic field on a spinor exciton-polariton condensate has been investigated. A quenching of a polariton Zeeman splitting and an elliptical polarization of the condensate have been observed at low magnetic fields B<2 T. The effects are attributed to a competition between the magnetic field induced circular polarization buildup and the spin-anisotropic polariton-polariton interaction which favors a linear polarization. The sign of the circular polarization of the condensate emission at B<3 T is negative, suggesting that a dynamic condensation in the excited spin state rather than the ground spin state takes place in this magnetic field range. From about 2T on, the Zeeman splitting opens and from then on the slope of the circular polarization degree changes its sign. For magnetic fields larger than the 3 T, the upper spin state occupation is energetically suppressed and circularly polarized condensation takes place in the ground state.     

Depolarization of the photoluminescence and spin relaxation in n-doped GaAs

Optically oriented electron spin lifetime in n-doped gallium arsenide was measured via depolarization of the photoluminescence (PL) in a transverse magnetic field (Hanle effect). In order to measure the PL polarization, a time-resolved pump-probe experiment, where a pump pulse generates spin-polarized electrons and a probe pulse monitors their polarization, was employed. The PL polarization in dependences of the pump-probe delay, external magnetic field as well as of the sample temperature was studied. The PL polarization was found to decay exponentially with the pump-probe delay, from which the spin lifetime of the electrons was measured. The measured value was found to depend on the strength of the magnetic field and sample temperature.

Effect of a magnetic field on the I – V characteristics of a germanium-electrolyte interface

A study has been made of the effect of the magnetic field on the I–V dependences (the so-called polarization curves) of an (n-Ge)-electrolyte interface and on the Ge electrode potential during anodic polarization. It is shown that the magnetic field shifts the saturation current toward lower currents and sharply increases the Ge surface potential in the current region. This is due to the effect of the magnetic field on the polarization current in the sample, which is governed by the diffusive flux of minority carriers. The shift of the breakdown region toward higher potentials in a magnetic field is evidence of impact-ionization multiplication of minority current carriers in the field of the Ge surface barrier.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, Vol.12, No. 3, pp. 99–103, March, 1969.The authors thank A.

Improvement of the spin polarization lifetime in the 85Rb vapor cell by octadecyltrichlorosilane coating

Effective surface coatings allow for long spin polarization in alkali metal cells, suppressing the magnetic field gradient effect and providing an improvement in atomic magnetometer sensitivity. In this work, the effect of an octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) surface coating on the longitudinal and transverse spin polarization lifetime of an optically pumped ⁸⁵Rb vapor cell has been studied. Our results showed that the spin polarization lifetime significantly increased in the OTS lined cell compared to the unlined cell. The relaxation rate due to alkali metal atoms wall collisions and the magnetic field gradient has been decreased by using an OTS surface coating. A longer spin polarization lifetime in the lined cell causes a narrower magnetic resonance line width and subsequently a more sensitive atomic magnetometer.     

Magnetoelectric interaction and magnetic field control of electric polarization in multiferroics

Various aspects of magnetic field control of magnetoelectric (ME) and electric properties of multiferroics are considered: linear ME effect appearance at magnetic field-induced incommensurate–commensurate phase transition, polarization switching and reversal by magnetic field and magnetic field-induced polarization flop transition. The correlation between magnetic, electric, and magnetoelastic properties is shown.     

Unconventional proximity effect and inverse spin-switch behavior in a model manganite-cuprate-manganite trilayer system

The proximity effect in a model manganite-cuprate system is investigated theoretically. We consider a situation in which spin-polarized electrons in manganite layers antiferromagnetically couple with electrons in cuprate layers as observed experimentally. The effect of the interfacial magnetic coupling is found to be much stronger than the injection of spin-polarized electrons into the cuprate region. As a result, the superconducting transition temperature depends on the thickness of the cuprate layer significantly. Since the magnetic coupling creates negative polarization, an applied magnetic field and the negative polarization compete, resulting in the inverse spin-switch behavior where the superconducting transition temperature is increased by applying a magnetic field.     

Anomalously strong relaxation of the polarization of muons in the magnetically ordered and paramagnetic states of the TbMnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> multiferroic

An anomalously strong relaxation of the muon polarization in a magnetically ordered state in the TbMnO₃ multiferroic has been revealed by the method below the μSR Néel temperature (42 K). Such a relaxation is due to the muon channel of relaxation of the polarization and the interaction of the magnetic moment of the muon with inhomogeneities of the internal magnetic field of an ordered state in the form of a cycloid. Above the Néel temperature, beginning with temperatures depending on the applied magnetic field, a two-phase state has been revealed where one phase has an anomalously strong relaxation of the muon polarization for a paramagnetic state. These features of the paramagnetic state are due to short-range magnetic order domains that appear in strongly frustrated TbMnO₃. A true paramagnetic state has been observed only at T ≥ 150 K.

Effect of in-plane magnetic field on spin polarization in the presence of the Dresselhaus spin–orbit effect

In this paper, we theoretically study the effect of the in-plane magnetic field on spin polarization in the presence of the Dresselhaus spin–orbit effect. It is shown that the large spin polarization can be achieved in such a nanostructure due to the effects of both the Dresselhaus spin–orbit term and the in-plane magnetic field, but the latter plays a main role in the tunneling process. It is also shown that with the increase of in-plane magnetic field, the degree of spin splitting obviously becomes larger.     

Scattering polarization in the presence of magnetic and electric fields

The polarization of radiation by scattering on an atom embedded in combined external quadrupole electric and uniform magnetic fields is studied theoretically. Limiting cases of scattering under Zeeman effect, and Hanle effect in weak magnetic fields are discussed. The theory is general enough to handle scattering in intermediate magnetic fields (Hanle-Zeeman effect) and for arbitrary orientation of magnetic field. The quadrupolar electric field produces asymmetric line shifts, and causes interesting level-crossing phenomena either in the absence of an ambient magnetic field, or in its presence. It is shown that the quadrupolar electric field produces an additional depolarization in the Q/I profiles and rotation of the plane of polarization in the U/I profile over and above that arising from magnetic field itself. This characteristic may have a diagnostic potential to detect steady-state and time-varying electric fields that surround radiating atoms in solar atmospheric layers.     

Mutual rectification of alternating currents in graphene in the field of two electromagnetic waves

For graphene placed in a dc magnetic field and exposed to two electromagnetic waves of the same polarization but different frequencies, an expression for the direct current density in a direction perpendicular to the polarization plane of the waves is derived. The direct current component is nonzero for the wave frequency ratio equal to two; it is proportional to the magnetic field strength, the electric field strength of the higher-frequency wave, and the squared electric field strength of the lower-frequency wave. The physical mechanism of the current generation is similar to the Hall effect.     

Magnetic Effect Versus Thermal Effect on Quark Matter with a Running Coupling at Finite Densities

We investigate the quark matter in a strong magnetic field in the framework of SU(2) NJL model with a magnetic-field-dependent coupling. The spin polarization, the entropy per baryon, and the energy are studied by analyzing the competition of the magnetic effect and the thermal effect. The stronger magnetic field can enhance the spin polarization, arrange quarks in a uniform spin orientation, and change the energy per baryon drastically. However,it can hardly affect the entropy per baryon, which is dominated by the temperature. As the temperature increases, more quarks will be excited from the lowest Landau level up to higher Landau levels.

Optical out-of-plane spin polarization and charge conductivities in spin-orbit-coupled systems in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field

Out-of-plane spin and charge responses to the terahertz field for a clean two-dimensional electron gas with a Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field are studied. We show that the characteristic optical spectral behavior is remarkably different from that of the system in the absence of in-plane magnetic fields. It is found that the optical spin polarization normal to the plane is nonzero even for this clean system, in sharp contrast to the static case. Due to the combined effect of spin-orbit coupling and in-plane magnetic field, both diagonal and off-diagonal components of optical charge conductivity tensor are nonvanishing. It is indicated that one can control the spin polarization and the optical current by adjusting the optical frequency. In addition, the out-of-plane spin polarization and conductivities strongly rely on the direction of the external magnetic field. Nevertheless, they meet different angle-dependent relations. This dynamical out-of-plane spin polarization could be measured by the time-resolved Kerr rotation technique.     

Field cycling by fast NMR probe transfer: Design and application in field-dependent CIDNP experiments

A novel field-cycling unit with fast digital positioning of a high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance probe in a spatially varying magnetic field is described and used to measure CIDNP spectra of the amino acid-dye (histidine-bipyridyl) photoreaction system in the range between 0 and 7 T. The pattern of nuclear polarization varies with the magnetic field. In particular, strong polarization with an emission/absorption pattern (multiplet effect) is found at low field for two histidine ringprotons with scalar coupling below 3 Hz visible only because of the high resolution made possible by the new field-cycling setup. Also for the CH₂ protons in the β-position a multiplet effect is observed having a pattern changing with magnetic field. By analysis of the spin nutation the non-Boltzmann population differences of the nuclear levels have been determined.     

Polarization in D-shaped fiber modulated by magneto-optical dichroism of magnetic fluid

The polarization of a D-shaped fiber is modulated after immersing it in magnetic fluid(MF)and applying a magnetic field.Theoretical analysis predicts that magneto-optical dichroism of MF plays a key role in light polarization modulation.During light polarization modulation,the evanescent wave polarized parallel to the magnetic field has greater loss than its orthogonal component.Light polarization of a D-shaped fiber with a wide polished surface can be modulated easily.High concentration MF and a large magnetic field all have great ability to modulate light polarization.
