Quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 charged particle in the presence of magnetic field with scalar and vector couplings
The quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 charged particle in the presence of
magnetic field is analyzed for the general case where scalar and vector
couplings are considered. The energy spectra are explicitly computed for
different physical situations, as well as their dependencies on the magnetic
field strength, spin projection parameter and vector and scalar coupling
constants.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1403.411
Spin dependent transport in organic light-emitting diodes
Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance (EDMR) was used to study a series of
multilayer organic devices based on aluminum (III) 8-hydroxyquinoline. These
devices were designed to identify the micoscopic origin of different spin
dependent process, i.e. hopping and exciton formation. EDMR is demonstrated to
probe molecular orbitals of charge, and thus indirectly explore interfaces,
exciton formation, charge accumalation and electric fields in operating organic
based devices
Spatial-temporal evolution of the current filamentation instability
The spatial-temporal evolution of the purely transverse current filamentation
instability is analyzed by deriving a single partial differential equation for
the instability and obtaining the analytical solutions for the spatially and
temporally growing current filament mode. When the beam front always encounters
fresh plasma, our analysis shows that the instability grows spatially from the
beam front to the back up to a certain critical beam length; then the
instability acquires a purely temporal growth. This critical beam length
increases linearly with time and in the non-relativistic regime it is
proportional to the beam velocity. In the relativistic regime the critical
length is inversely proportional to the cube of the beam Lorentz factor
. Thus, in the ultra-relativistic regime the instability
immediately acquires a purely temporal growth all over the beam. The analytical
results are in good agreement with multidimensional particle-in-cell
simulations performed with OSIRIS. Relevance of current study to recent and
future experiments on fireball beams is also addressed
