The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...
This course introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and ...
When a magnetic material is bombarded with short pulses of laser light, it loses its magnetism within femtoseconds (10 –15 seconds). The spin, or angular momentum, of the electrons in the material ...
The Einstein-de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at ...
In the beam of light emitted by a laser pointer, photons travel predominantly along one direction and the beam is therefore said to be collimated. The electric field carried by these photons is ...
An international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements – in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic moments.
