Detection of spin polarized currents in quantum point contacts via transverse electron focusing

A. Reynoso, Gonzalo Usaj, C. A. Balseiro

It has been predicted recently that an electron beam can be polarized when it flows adiabatically through a quantum point contact in a system with spin-orbit interaction. Here, we…

Observing the evaporation transition in vibro-fluidized granular matter

Jorge E. Fiscina, Manuel O. Caceres

By shaking a sand box the grains on the top start to jump giving the picture of evaporating a sand bulk, and a gaseous transition starts at the surface granular matter (GM) bed. Mo…
