Consistency in formulation of spin current and torque associated with a variance of angular momentum
Based on the Noether's theorem, we develop systematically and rigorously the spin-dependent formulation of the conservation laws. The effect of the electronic polarization due to the spin-orbit coupling is included in the Maxwell equations. The polarization is related to the antisymmetric components of spin current, and it provides a possibility to measure the spin current directly. The variances of spin and orbit angular momentum currents imply a torque on the "electric dipole" associated with the moving electron. The dependencies of the torque on the polarization and the force on the motions of spin-polarized electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas with the Rashba spin-orbit coupling are discussed. 相似文献

We have measured the T-odd permanent electric dipole moment of 129Xe with spin exchange pumped masers and a 3He comagnetometer. The comagnetometer provides a direct measure of several systematic effects that may limit electric dipole moment sensitivity, and we have directly measured the effects of changes in leakage current that result when the applied electric field is changed. Our result, d(129Xe) = 0.7+/-3.3(stat)+/-0.1(syst)x10(-27)e cm, is a fourfold improvement in sensitivity. 相似文献

Hyperfine interaction between electron spin and randomly oriented nuclear spins is a key issue of electron coherence for quantum information/computation. We propose an efficient way to establish high polarization of nuclear spins and reduce the intrinsic nuclear spin fluctuations. Here, we polarize the nuclear spins in semiconductor quantum dot(QD) by the coherent population trapping(CPT) and the electric dipole spin resonance(EDSR) induced by optical fields and ac electric fields. By tuning the optical fields, we can obtain a powerful cooling background based on CPT for nuclear spin polarization. The EDSR can enhance the spin flip–flop rate which may increase the cooling efficiency. With the help of CPT and EDSR, an enhancement of 1300 times of the electron coherence time can be obtained after a 10-ns preparation time. 相似文献

Similar to the Landauer electric dipole created around an impurity by the electric current, a spin polarized cloud of electrons can be induced by the intrinsic spin Hall effect near a spin independent elastic scatterer. It is shown that in the ballistic range around the impurity, such a cloud appears in the case of Rashba spin-orbit interaction, even though the bulk spin Hall current is absent. 相似文献

In this article the present state of knowledge of the theory of one- and two-photon processes observed in rare earth ions in crystals is presented. The conclusions are based on the results of ab initio calculations performed for various ions across the lanthanide series. The model applied for the calculations is based on the Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory, and the amplitude of a certain electric dipole transition is expressed in terms of effective operators. The radial integrals of the effective operators are defined by the perturbed functions that contain the perturbing influence of single excitations from the 4f shell to all one-electron states of a given symmetry, discrete and continuum. In this approach the interactions between the 4fN and the excited configurations via the crystal field potential, the electron correlation operator and the spin–orbit interaction operator are discussed; it is believed that the presented theory contains the most important physical mechanisms responsible for the f↔f electric dipole transitions. Two alternative formulations of the theory of one-photon electric dipole transitions are presented. Consequently, the transition amplitude is defined within the standard theory based on the length formula and within a new approach which is based on the velocity form of the electric dipole radiation operator. 相似文献

We investigate the Zeeman splitting of the two-dimensional electron gas in an asymmetric silicon quantum well, performing electron-spin-resonance (ESR) experiments. Applying a small dc current we observe a shift in the resonance field due to the additional current-induced Bychkov-Rashba type of spin-orbit field. We also show that a high frequency current may induce electric dipole spin resonance very efficiently. We identify different contributions to this type of ESR signal. 相似文献

Boundary conditions are derived that determine the penetration of spin current through an interface of two noncollinear ferromagnets with an arbitrary angle between their magnetization vectors. We start from the well-known transformation properties of an electron spin wave functions under the rotation of a quantization axis. It allows directly find the connection between partial electric current densities for different spin subbands of the ferromagnets. No spin scattering is assumed in the near interface region, so that spin conservation takes place when electron intersects the boundary. The continuity conditions are found for partial chemical potential differences in the situation. Spatial distribution of nonequilibrium electron magnetizations is calculated under the spin current flowing through a contact of two semi-infinite ferromagnets. The distribution describes the spin accumulation effect by current and corresponding shift of the potential drop at the interface. These effects appear strongly dependent on the relation between spin contact resistances at the interface. 相似文献

The possibility that zitterbewegung opens a window to particle substructure in quantum mechanics is explored by constructing a particle model with structural
features inherent in the Dirac equation. This paper develops a self-contained dynamical model of the electron as a lightlike
particle with helical zitterbewegung and electromagnetic interactions. The model admits periodic solutions with quantized
energy, and the correct magnetic moment is generated by charge circulation. It attributes to the electron an electric dipole
moment rotating with ultrahigh frequency, and the possibility of observing this directly as a resonance in electron channeling
is analyzed in detail. Correspondence with the Dirac equation is discussed. A modification of the Dirac equation is suggested
to incorporate the rotating dipole moment. 相似文献

Magnetoelectrics often possess ions located in noncentrosymmetric surroundings. Based on this fact we suggest a microscopic model of magnetoelectric interaction and show that the spin-orbit coupling leads to spin-dependent electric dipole moments of the electron orbitals of these ions, which results in non-vanishing polarization for certain spin configurations. The approach accounts for the macroscopic symmetry of the unit cell and is valid for both commensurate and complex incommensurate magnetic structures. The model is illustrated by the examples of MnWO(4), MnPS(3) and LiNiPO(4). Application to other magnetoelectrics is discussed. 相似文献
