Threshold suppression of Λ spin-orbit splitting
نویسنده
چکیده
New experimental data on medium to heavy single Λ hypernuclei revealed a much larger spin-orbit splitting than observed in older measurements of light hypernuclei. Taking into account particle threshold effects and the density-dependence of inmedium coupling constants the apparent suppression of spin-orbit strength in light hypernuclei as well as the spin-orbit structure observed in medium to heavy nuclei are explained in a unified manner within the density dependent relativistic hadron field theory. It is concluded that the most valuable information on the Λ spin-orbit dynamics in finite nuclei has to be extracted from medium to heavy mass nuclei.

Effects of ΣN channels on the Spin-Orbit Force in Λ-hypernuclei
Effects of the ΣN channels on the spin-orbit force in Λ-hypernuclei are investigated. It is found that the cancellation between the symmetric and the antisymmetric ΛN spin-orbit force becomes more complete when the contribution from the ΣN channels is included. This may be the one of the reasons why the observed LS splitting of the Λ single particle energy is very small. PACS: 12.39.Jh, 13.75.E...
متن کاملInterplay of Coulomb interaction and spin-orbit effects in multilevel quantum dots
We study electron transport through amultilevel quantum dot with Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the presence of local Coulomb repulsion. We focus on the parameter regime in which the level spacing is larger than the level broadening. Motivated by recent experiments, we compute the level splitting induced by the spin-orbit interaction at finite Zeeman fields B, which provides a measure of the ...
متن کاملSignatures of spin-orbit interaction in transport properties of finite carbon nanotubes in a parallel magnetic field
The transport properties of finite nanotubes placed in a magnetic field parallel to their axes are investigated. Upon including spin-orbit coupling and curvature effects, two main phenomena are analyzed that crucially depend on the tube’s chirality: (i) Finite carbon nanotubes in a parallel magnetic field may present a suppression of current due to the localization at the edges of otherwise con...
متن کاملGiant spin-orbit-induced spin splitting in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductors
Fully relativistic first-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed to study the spin-orbit-induced spin splitting in monolayer systems of the transition-metal dichalcogenides MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2. All these systems are identified as direct-band-gap semiconductors. Giant spin splittings of 148–456 meV result from missing inversion symmetry. Full out-of-plane ...

We review recent theoretical developments about the role of spins, electron-electron interactions, and spin-orbit coupling in metal nanoparticles and semiconductor quantum dots. For a closed system, in the absence of spin-orbit coupling or of an external magnetic field, electron-electron interactions make it possible to have ground states with spin S > 1/2. We review here a theoretical analysis...
