Spintronics gets serious
Article from Physics World with links to other information - Spintronic devices, which harness the spin of the electron as well as its charge, could be a step closer following recent experiments on ...
Electron Spin
An introduction to electron spin with links of to other topics such as fine structure.
Ising model
Simulates the behaviour of simple magnets. Allows you to choose initial temperature, gives a visual picture of the changing spins and calculates energy and magnetization.
Ising applet
Ising is a simple model of magnetism. It simulates a ferromagnet using two-dimensional array of interacting spins at fixed temperature and magnetic field.
The Ising Model
The Ising model can be explored to observe the magnetic spins at different temperatures
Spin and Polarization
Essay on one aspect of quantum mechanics
Electrons and Magicians
A mathematical site which looks at the quantum mechanics of spin and an experimental idea that contradicts the mathematics.
Spintronics
Article from Physics World - Devices that exploit the spin of the electron promise to revolutionize microelectronics once polarized electrons can be injected efficiently into semiconductors at room ...
Imaginary Explanations
The peculiar aspects of quantum spin measurements in EPR-type experiments can be regarded as a natural extension of the principle of special relativity. This article looks at the mathematics of this ...
Nuclear Wallet Cards
