Spin flip probability of electron due to torsional wave
The probability of spin flip of an electron due to a torsional wave is
calculated. It is compared to the electromagnetic case, and ways to detect
torsion are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Spin flip probability of electron in a uniform magnetic field
The probability of a spin flip of an electron is calculated. It is assumed
that the electron resides in a uniform magnetic field and interacts with an
incoming electromagnetic pulse. The scattering matrix is constructed and the
time needed to flip the spin is calculated.Comment: 4 pages, 0 figure
