Relativistic Dynamics of Spin in Strong External Fields *
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamics of relativistic spinning particles in strong external electromagnetic or gravitational fields is discussed. Spin-orbit coupling is shown to affect such relativistic phenomena as time-dilation and perihelion shift. Possible applications include muon decay in a magnetic field and the dynamics of neutron stars in binary systems. ∗Lecture presented at the 4th Hellenic School on Elementary Particle Physics, Corfu, Sept. 1992

In the frame work of relativistic density functional theory, using full potential local orbital band structure scheme (FPLO), the magnetic properties of single 3d transition metals (3d-TM) adsorbed on 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) are investigated. Binding energies between 3d-TM adatoms and 2D h-BN in three different compositions, local spin magnetic moments of 3d-TM and total spin magne...
متن کاملNeutrino spin-flavor oscillations in electromagnetic fields of various configurations
We study spin-flavor oscillations of Dirac neutrinos with mixing and having non-zero matrix of magnetic moments in magnetic fields of various configurations. We discuss constant transversal and twisting magnetic fields. To describe the dynamics of Dirac neutrinos we use relativistic quantum mechanics approach based on the exact solutions to the Dirac-Pauli equation in an external electromagneti...

One considers the quantum dynamics of a charged spin-12 particle in an extended external eletromagnetic field that arises from the reduction of a 5dimensional Abelian gauge theory. The non-relativistic regime of the reduced 4D-dynamics is worked out and one identifies the system as a sector of an N=2-supersymmetric quantum-mechanical dynamics. The full supersymmetric model is studied and one ch...

Time evolution of wave packets built from the eigenstates of the Dirac equation for a hydrogenic system is considered. We investigate the space and spin motion of wave packets which, in the non-relativistic limit, are stationary states with a probability density distributed uniformly along the classical, elliptical orbit (elliptic WP). We show that the precession of such a WP, due to relativist...
