Dynamic electron-phonon and spin-phonon interactions due to inertia

THz radiation allows for the controlled excitation of vibrational modes in molecules and crystals. We show that the circular motion of ions introduces inertial effects on electrons. In analogy to the classical Coriolis and centrifugal forces, these effects are spin-rotation coupling, centrifugal fie...
