Resonant photoproduction of high-energy electron-positron pairs in the field of a nucleus and a plane electromagnetic wave
The resonant photoproduction of ultrarelativistic electron-positron pairs (PPP) in a nuclear field and a weak laser field is theoretically studied.

We show that,there exists a collective steady state in the system, which is exactly formed by the collective ...

Effect of environmental spins on Landau-Zener transitions
Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions of a two-level system (e. g., electronic spin in molecular magnets) coupled to one or many environmental spins (e. g., nuclear spins) are studied. For rather general interactions the LZ problem is reduced to that of a Landau-Zener grid. It is shown analytically that environmental spins ini...

Dynamics of a j=3/2 quantum spin liquid
We study a spin-orbital model for 4$d^{1}$ or 5$d^{1}$ Mott insulators in ordered double perovskites with strong spin-orbit coupling. This model is conveniently written in terms of pseudospin and pseudo-orbital operators representing multipoles of the effective $j=3/2$ angular momentum. Similarities between this model ...

We report the observation of strongly ferromagnetic $F=1$ spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of $^7$Li atoms. The condensates are generated in an optical dipole trap without using magnetic Feshbach resonances, so that the condensates have internal spin degrees of freedom. Studying the non-equilibrium spin dynamics, we ha...

One-directional polarization transport in electron/nuclear spin chains with loss and gain

Dynamics of two ferromagnetic insulators coupled by superconducting spin current
A conventional superconductor sandwiched between two ferromagnets can maintain coherent equilibrium spin current.

Electrical manipulation of a hole `spin'-orbit qubit in nanowire quantum dot: the nontrivial magnetic field effects
Strong `spin'-orbit coupled one-dimensional hole gas is achievable in a Ge nanowire in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The strong magnetic field lifts the two-fold degeneracy in the hole subband dispersions, so that the effective low-energy subband dispersion exhibits strong `spin'-orbit coupling. Here, we stu...
