We will determine the gluon spin density ∆g(x) in the nucleon by measuring the asymmetry for polarized photo-production of charmed quarks from polarized targets in End Station A at SLAC. The quasi-mono-chromatic circularly polarized photon beam will be produced from an oriented diamond crystal. The target will be longitudinally polarized LiD at a temperature of 0.3 K, centered in a 6.5 T magnet...

By limiting the resolution of quantum measurements, measurement-induced changes of the quantum state can be reduced, permitting subsequent measurements of variables that do not commute with the initially measured property. It is then possible to determine correlations between noncommuting variables experimentally. The application of this method to the polarization statistics of entangled photon...

Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, transient absorption, and phosphorescence spectroscopy were used to investigate the spin polarization of a nitroxide free radical induced by interaction with singlet oxygen ((1)O2). The latter was generated by photolysis of endoperoxides of two anthracene derivatives. Although both anthracene endoperoxides are structurally similar, opp...

Motivated by the possibility of combining spintronics with molecular structures, we investigate the conditions for the appearance of spin polarization in low-dimensional tubular systems by contacting them to a magnetic substrate. We derive a set of general expressions describing the charge transfer between the tube and the substrate and the relative energy costs. The mean-field solution of the ...

The electronic states of lateral many-electron quantum dots in high magnetic fields are analyzed in terms of energy and spin. In a regime with two Landau levels in the dot, several Coulomb-blockade peaks are measured. A zigzag pattern is found as it is known from the Fock-Darwin spectrum. However, only data from Landau level 0 show the typical spin-induced bimodality, whereas features from Land...

Demonstration of a tunable conductivity of the LaAlO(3)/SrTiO(3) interfaces drew significant attention to the development of oxide electronic structures where electronic confinement can be reduced to the nanometer range. While the mechanisms for the conductivity modulation are quite different and include metal-insulator phase transition and surface charge writing, generally it is implied that t...

We present expressions for electromagnetic helicity amplitudes and spin observables for any elastic spin 1/2 spin 1/2 scattering to first order in QED. In particular all electromagnetic helicity amplitudes and spin observables for elastic antiproton-electron and antiproton-proton scattering via single t-channel photon exchange are presented. Spin observables are required to describe the rate of...

Introduction Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization (PHIP) leads to strong signal enhancement in H-NMR if unsaturated substrates are hydrogenated with parahydrogen (p-H2) applying an appropriate catalyst. As shown before, this polarization can be transferred to heteronuclei such as C. For imaging the lung, a F-hyperpolarized contrast agent should be available, if possible for inhalation. Normally, t...

The polarization of conduction electron spins due to an electrical current is observed in strained nonmagnetic semiconductors using static and time-resolved Faraday rotation. The density, lifetime, and orientation rate of the electrically polarized spins are characterized by a combination of optical and electrical methods. In addition, the dynamics of the current-induced spins are investigated ...

We use symmetry arguments and simple model systems to describe the conversion of the singlet state of parahydrogen into an oscillating sample magnetization at zero magnetic field. During an initial period of free evolution governed by the scalar-coupling Hamiltonian HJ, the singlet state is converted into scalar spin order involving spins throughout the molecule. A short dc pulse along the z ax...
