• Abstract summary: We present an experimentally realizable scenario in which spin-dependent effects of the interaction between the laser and the electrons are dominant. This analysis may thus lead to novel methods of creating and characterizing spin-polarized nonrelativistic femtosecond electron pulses.

• Abstract: In this paper we present an analysis of the spin behavior of electrons propagating through a laser field. We present an experimentally realizable scenario in which spin-dependent effects of the interaction between the laser and the electrons are dominant. The laser interaction strength and incident electron velocity are in the nonrelativistic domain. This analysis may thus lead to novel methods of creating and characterizing spin-polarized nonrelativistic femtosecond electron pulses.

  We show that spin-dependent electron diffraction is possible for a smooth range of transverse electron momenta in a two-photon Bragg scattering scenario. Our analysis is rendered possible by introducing a generalized specification for quantifying spin-dependent diffraction.

  Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

  We show that CISS can be observed in achiral systems driven by an external circularly polarized laser field in the framework of Floquet engineering. To obtain a wider range of energies for large spin polarization, a combination of chiral molecules and light-matter interactions is considered.

  We report on a strategy to boost the spin injection rate by exploiting electrons that can be rapidly polarized. We demonstrate this in a model system of Nitrogen Vacancy center electrons injecting polarization into a bath of 13C nuclei in diamond. Through a spin-ratchet polarization transfer mechanism, we show boosts in spin injection rates by over two orders of magnitude.

We were able to obtain reliable spin-orbit and correlation-induced splittings between the 91 Er2 and 36 Tm2 electronic potentials dissociating to two ground-state atoms.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

  We study model atoms with three active electrons interacting with strong pulsed radiation, using an ab-initio time-dependent Schr"odinger equation on a grid. We show that significant differences are obtained between model Neon and Nitrogen atoms. These differences are traced back to the different symmetries of the electronic wavefunctions, and directly related to the different initial state spin components.
