Modern Aspects of Spin Physics

Download or read book Modern Aspects of Spin Physics written by Walter Pötz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-03-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spin degree of freedom is an intrinsically quantum-mechanical phenomenon, leading to both intriguing applications and unsolved fundamental issues (such as "where does the proton spin come from"). The present volume investigates central aspects of modern spin physics in the form of extensive lectures on semiconductor spintronics, the spin-pairing mechanism in high-temperature semiconductors, spin in quantum field theory and the nucleon spin.
