a) In a weak magnetic field, broad cyclotron orbits suppress the orbital contribution, allowing spin polarization to dominate, (b) In strong magnetic fields, tight cyclotron orbits enhance orbital ...

This course introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and ...

Surprising as it may sound, 107 years after the introduction of general relativity, the meanings of basic concepts are still being worked out. More than a century after Albert Einstein unveiled ...

Vortices of light, null regions of intensity surrounded by spiral phases, makes up the skeleton of a wavefield and influence the properties of light. Since the discovery of the tight connection of ...

It depends on what you mean by rotate. A planet in a locked orbit to its star doesn’t rotate with reference to its star; it rotates once (in essence its day) in the same period as its year (orbital ...
