The spin degree of freedom of an electron or a nucleus is one of the most basic properties of
nature and functions as an excellent qubit, as it provides a natural two-level system that is …

Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

Quantum interference effects in rings provide suitable means for controlling spin at
mesoscopic scales. Here we apply such control mechanisms to coherent spin-dependent …

The most accurate description of spin splittings in semiconductor nanostructures has been
obtained from a 14-band k∙ p model, but the historical way in which it has developed from …

We present an analytic solution to one-particle Schrödinger equation for an electron in a
quantum dot with hard-wall confining potential in the presence of both magnetic field and …

We have recently shown [Phys. Rev. B 89, 165314 (2014) PRBMDO 1098-0121
10.1103/PhysRevB. 89.165314] that a noninteracting quantum dot coupled to a one …

This chapter establishes the relationship between low-frequency noise and coherence
decay of localized spins in semiconductors, as measured by a number of different pulse spin …
