Spin and energy transfer in nanocrystals without transport of charge
We describe a mechanism of spin transfer between individual quantum dots that
does not require tunneling. Incident circularly-polarized photons create
inter-band excitons with non-zero electron spin in the first quantum dot. When
the quantum-dot pair is properly designed, this excitation can be transferred
to the neighboring dot via the Coulomb interaction with either {\it
conservation} or {\it flipping} of the electron spin. The second dot can
radiate circularly-polarized photons at lower energy. Selection rules for spin
transfer are determined by the resonant conditions and by the strong spin-orbit
interaction in the valence band of nanocrystals. Coulomb-induced energy and
spin transfer in pairs and chains of dots can become very efficient under
resonant conditions. The electron can preserve its spin orientation even in
randomly-oriented nanocrystals.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
Symmetric and asymmetric matching of joint presentations
The global psychophysical theory of summation and magnitude production of R. D. Luce (2002) had joint presentations of pairs of intensities (measured above threshold) being matched asymmetrically, with 1 component being 0 intensity and the other the matching intensity. For loudness, an intensity pair to the 2 ears is matched by an intensity in just 1 ear. Realizing this experimentally has been difficult, and so, this article extends the theory to the use of symmetric matches with the same intensity being used in both components. In addition, the representational aspect is much improved; a new formulation of the results of the earlier theory is presented; the theory for symmetric matches is outlined; and it is shown that if 1 form of segregation, right or left, holds for asymmetric matches and 1 for symmetric ones, then all forms of segregation hold
