Abstract:
We find that the temperature dependence of the drag resistivity between two dilute two-dimensional hole systems exhibits an unusual dependence upon spin polarization. Our main observation is that near the apparent metal-insulator transition, the temperature dependence of the drag, given by Talpha, weakens significantly with the application of a parallel magnetic field (B(||)), with alpha saturating at half its zero field value for B(||)>B(*), where B(*) is the polarization field.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...

Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
