spin-orbit

Presumably due to orbital energy spin-orbit coupling, which is generating the heat source for this activity.

This effect is due to what is known as spin-orbit coupling between the current electrons and the atomic electrons in the magnetic read-head.

We also solved the mystery of the finite Knight shift at zero temperature, taking into account the spin-orbit scattering.

However, the order is different; it is determined by another common potential and by the specific strong spin-orbit coupling of the nuclear forces.

Even though some components are coupled to each other (there is a spontaneous breaking of the symmetry in spin-orbit space) the wave function is still quite complicated and gives rise to a rich set of orientational effects.

In the same way as it is easier in an ordinary waltz to waltz forward than backward, there is in the electronic dance a specific spin-orbit coupling between the rotations of the electrons and their translational movements, which is of importance for the magnetic properties.

Report Abuse @ John Hand -- Due to Mercury's 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, a solar day the length between two meridian transits of the Sun lasts about 176 Earth days.

In the n-regime, where the spin-orbit splitting is reduced, the signal is at least one order of magnitude smaller and vanishes for narrower quantum wells.

In the spin Hall effect, a current passed through a spin-orbit coupled electron gas induces a spin accumulation of inverse sign on either side of the sample.

There exists a relatively small interaction, known as the spin-orbit coupling that has the ability to change the magnetic moment.
