Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…We then consider the effect of weak external forces on spin states, circular orbits arising in the absence of external forces, and show that the destabilisation of spin states depends in a complex manner on the type of external force applied. …”

Multiple scattering of light in cold atomic clouds in a magnetic field by Sigwarth, Olivier, Labeyrie, Guillaume, Delande, Dominique, Miniatura, Christian

“…We show that, for atoms with nonzero spin in their ground state, the CBS interference contrast can be increased compared to its value when B=0, a result at variance with classical samples. …”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”
