This spin state is then acted upon by torques caused by the electric field which causes a precession of the spin vector of the electron. Precession is the property of a rotating object that spins ...

Until now, the major problem has been that the electron spins in different QDs are never identical. "The electron spin precession frequencies in an external magnetic field are different from each ...

The strong magnetic field inside the trap leads to a characteristic motion of the ion confined by the field as well as to a precession of the spin of the outer electron like a tiny magnetic ...

This wobble (or precession) angle is then measured precisely using a spectroscopic technique. If the electron has an EDM, it will contribute to the precession angle by an amount proportional to the ...

Figure 2: Ultrafast electron spin dynamics and precession at B = 0 in Mn 2+-doped CdSe nanocrystals. Figure 3: Modeling magnetization fluctuations and ultrafast electron spin dynamics in Mn 2 ...

In addition, in this quantum well, we found that electron spins propagate with (without) spin precession in the x(y) direction, reflecting the crystal orientation dependence of effective magnetic ...

the electron spin precesses in an external magnetic field; another time delayed laser pulse detects the spin precession by rotation of its polarization plane (North or Up, South or Down).

Now, researchers at NTNU have come up with a remarkably simple method to solve a long-standing problem in an almost 30-year-old TEM-based technique known as scanning precession electron ...

Last November, Quantum Design and NanoMEGAS invited industry and research professionals to learn more about the theoretical and practical applications of Precession Electron Diffraction (PED).

Almost all electronic devices operate by using an electron charge controlled by ... the research team has demonstrated that the spin precession speed of drifting electrons in semiconductor quantum ...
