So far as we know, the idea of a quantised spinning of the electron was put forward for the first time by A. K. Compton (Journ. Frankl. Inst., Aug. 1921, p. 145), who pointed out the possible ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton’s inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the ...

A good example of this type effect is that if a magnetic field is applied to a material there is a large negative change in the resistance, as in manganese oxide compounds with a perovskite structure.

To test their technique, the team investigated a specific spin texture known as a meron pair. A meron is a topological structure where the direction of the spin texture only covers half of a ...
