An artist's rendering of strontium iridate, an oxide whose properties can be controlled by applying spin-orbit interactions or changing molecular bond angles.
Although it is driven by applying spin-independent potentials, the system can pump out spin-dependent currents, i.e., generate nonzero charge and spin currents at the same time.
Jermain works with Dan Ralph, Physics, on understanding how to apply spin transfer torque, a method used to manipulate magnets, to magnetic insulators.
Since we apply Spin Images for partial view range data matching, we have to face the problem described in [35] (for the case of model recognition in cluttered scenes) about the determination of a good tradeoff between distinctiveness and robustness.
The simple mini-game replicates an actual tennis match as well as any I've ever seen: Since you're actually swinging the remote like you would a racket, you can hit with varying force or apply spin to the ball, depending on how you move your body.
The analog stick is used to move left and right, the A button sets the direction and strength for each throw, and the L or R buttons apply spin to the ball.
Although helped by innovations in shoe and soccer ball design, it can also be attributed to the free-kick specialists (e.g., David Beckham, Juninho, and Keisuke Honda), who skilfully apply spin to the ball at shoe-ball contact causing the resulting ball trajectory to bend.
The sample applied spin column was centrifuged at 80 g at 4°C for 3 min.
The optimization of coating thickness was obtained by changing the applied spin-coating speed; from 2,000 to 8,000 rpm.
