Atmospheric neutrino flux at INO, South Pole and Pyh\"asalmi
We present the calculation of the atmospheric neutrino fluxes for the
neutrino experiments proposed at INO, South Pole and Pyh\"asalmi. Neutrino
fluxes have been obtained using ATMNC, a simulation code for cosmic ray in the
atmosphere. Even using the same primary flux model and the interaction model,
the calculated atmospheric neutrino fluxes are different for the different
sites due to the geomagnetic field. The prediction of these fluxes in the
present paper would be quite useful in the experimental analysis.Comment: 12Pages,9Fig
Spin accumulation created electrically in an n-type germanium channel using Schottky tunnel contacts
Using high-quality FeSi/-Ge Schottky-tunnel-barrier contacts, we
study spin accumulation in an -type germanium (-Ge) channel. In the
three- or two-terminal voltage measurements with low bias current conditions at
50 K, Hanle-effect signals are clearly detected only at a forward-biased
contact. These are reliable evidence for electrical detection of the spin
accumulation created in the -Ge channel. The estimated spin lifetime in
-Ge at 50 K is one order of magnitude shorter than those in -Si reported
recently. The magnitude of the spin signals cannot be explained by the commonly
used spin diffusion model. We discuss a possible origin of the difference
between experimental data and theoretical values.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, To appear in J. Appl. Phy
