Spin polarization decay in spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 systems
Dimitrie Culcer, Roland Winkler
We present a general unifying theory for spin polarization decay due to the interplay of spin precession and momentum scattering that is applicable to both spin-1/2 electrons and s…

Geometrical phase effects on the Wigner distribution of Bloch electrons
Dimitrie Culcer, Qian Niu
We investigate the dynamics of Bloch electrons using a density operator method and connect this approach with previous theories based on wave packets. We study non-interacting syst…

Spin precession and alternating spin polarization in spin-3/2 hole systems
Dimitrie Culcer, C. Lechner, R. Winkler
The spin density matrix for spin-3/2 hole systems can be decomposed into a sequence of multipoles which has important higher-order contributions beyond the ones known for electron…
