Sentences with phrase «electron spin waves»

Not exact matches

In a technique that could help silicon quantum computers scale up, a particle of light (pink waves) was made to interact with the spin of a single electron (pink circle).

When heat or a current is applied to the solid, the electrons» compasses get repositioned, creating a magnetic spin wave that ripples through the solid.

Now, a pair of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich have proposed the first solution to such subatomic stoppage: a novel way to create a more robust electron wave by binding together the electron's direction of movement and its spin.

«Quantum spin could create unstoppable, one - dimensional electron waves: New theory points the way forward to transform atom - thin materials into powerful conductors.»

These rolling electron waves could then be described as right - moving with spin up, left - moving with spin down, and so on.

Then, McCamey says, the researchers use millimeter - wave radiation to tweak the spin of the electrons while monitoring the current flowing through.

As neutrons (blue line) scatter off the graphene - like honeycomb material, they produce a magnetic Majorana fermion (green wave) that moves through the material disrupting or breaking apart magnetic interactions between «spinning» electrons.

«A spin wave travels at a slower rate than an electron wave,» he notes.

Normally, when one electron flips its spin, researchers would expect it to create a neat chain reaction, resulting in a wave going through the crystal.

The wave of electron spins flipping in sequence might look something like fans at a football game standing and sitting back down to make a wave go around the stadium.

We use a testing technique called electron spin resonance (ESR) that uses a combination of a magnetic field and electronmagnetic waves to directly detect the unpaired electrons of free radicals.
