We compute analytically the weak (anti) localization correction to the Drude conductivity for
electrons in tubular semiconductor systems of zinc-blende type. We include linear Rashba …

We theoretically investigate the D'yakonov-Perel'spin-relaxation properties in diffusive
wurtzite semiconductor nanowires and their impact on the quantum correction to the …

A graphene bilayer shows an unusual magnetoelectric response whose magnitude is
controlled by the valley-isospin density, making it possible to link magnetoelectric behavior …

Paul Drude published his theory of electric transport in metals as long ago as in 1900, which
is known as Drude theory today. To the present day several approaches have been …

This dissertation focuses on spin based phenomena of transport in low-dimensional
mesoscopic systems. The work contains the theoretical discussion of an experimentally …

A central theme in semiconductor spintronics is the control of spin-polarized charge carriers.
In order to utilize the spin for information processing, a long spin lifetime is essential. In this …

A lateral spin-valve (LSV) is a structure to achieve non-local spin accumulation in future
spintronic devices. Although numerous studies have been performed and have …

In 1968 deep inelastic electron scattering experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator
Center (SLAC) discovered quarks as fundamental constituents in the nucleon and played an …
