Recent experimental work on (e,2e) coincidences involving polarized electrons is reviewed. The origin of the observed spin asymmetries are exchange effects, spin-orbit interaction of the continuum electrons, and spin-orbit coupling within the target in conjunction with orbital orientation and exchange. These mechanisms are explained in some detail. Experimental and theoretical investigations of spin effects have been performed for ionization of outer shell electrons as well as for ionization of inner shell electrons.

Abstract Heavy elements (X = Ta/W/Re) play an important role in the performance of superalloys, which enhance the strength, anti-oxidation, creep resistance, and anti-corrosiveness of alloy materials in a high-temperature environment. In the present research, the heavy element doping effects in FCC-Ni (γ) and Ni3Al (γ') systems are investigated in terms of their thermodynamic and mechanical properties, as well as electronic structures. The lattice constant, bulk modulus, elastic constant, and dopant formation energy in non-spin, spin polarized, and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) calculations are compared. The results show that the SOC effects are important in accurate electronic structure calculations for alloys with heavy elements. We find that including spin for both γ and γ' phases is necessary and sufficient for most cases, but the dopant formation energy is sensitive to different spin effects, for instance, in the absence of SOC, even spin-polarized calculations give 1% to 9% variance in the dopant formation energy in our model. Electronic structures calculations indicate that spin polarization causes a split in the metal d states, and SOC introduces a variance in the spin-up and spin-down states of the d states of heavy metals and reduces the magnetic moment of the system.

In this paper, we investigate effects of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling, inter-well coupling, and external bias on the dynamics of resonance tunneling through a semiconductor double-well structure. Based on the transfer matrix technique and the single band effective-mass approximation method, the numerical results demonstrate that the transmission peaks of the spin-up and spin-down electrons split due to the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in the double-well structure. As the in-plane wave vector and external electric field increase, the split becomes farther apart. There is a prominent difference between the lifetime of the quasibound energy level for different spin-polarized electrons. The spin-dependent tunneling time is obtained using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
