Physicists bring quantum mechanics and relativity closer to tame spinning electrons
SMRTR summary
Physicists introduce a new method to harmonize quantum mechanics and relativity when modeling electron spin in solid materials. The approach, called relativistic spin-lattice interaction, accurately predicts spin behavior across 1D, 2D, and 3D materials without using problematic orbital angular momentum operators. This breakthrough could advance spintronics and quantum computing by enabling more reliable simulations of electron spin in various materials.
