Within the context of very simple avoided crossing, we investigate the investigate the effect of a complex diabatic coupling in determining spin-dependent rate constants and scattering states. We find that, if the molecular geometry is not linear and the Berry force is not zero, one can find significant spin polarization of the products. This study emphasizes that, when analyzing nonadiabatic reactions with spin orbit coupling (and a complex Hamiltonian), one must consider how Berry force affects nuclear motion -- at least in the context of gas phase reactions. Work is currently ongoing as far as extrapolating these conclusions to the condensed phase where interesting spin selection has been observed in recent years.

Spin-dependent partial conductances are evaluated in a tight-binding description of electron transport in the presence of spin-orbit (SO) couplings, using transfer-matrix methods. As the magnitude of SO interactions increases, the separation of spin- switching channels from non-spin-switching ones is gradually erased. Spin-polarised incident beams are produced by including a Zeeman-like term in the Hamiltonian. The exiting polarisation is shown to exhibit a maximum as a function of the intensity of SO couplings. For moderate site disorder, and both weak and strong SO interactions, no evidence is found for a decay of exiting polarisation against increasing system length. With very low site disorder and weak SO couplings a spin-filter effect takes place, as polarisation {em increases} with increasing system length.
We investigate the nuclear dynamics near a real-valued conical intersection that is perturbed by a complex-valued spin-orbit coupling. For a model Hamiltonian with two outgoing channels, we find that even a small spin-orbit coupling can dramatically affect the pathway selection on account of Berry force, leading to extremely large spin selectivity (sometime as large as 100%). Thus, this Letter opens the door for organic chemists to start designing spintronic devices that use nuclear motion and conical intersections (combined with standard spin-orbit coupling) in order to achieve spin selection. Vice versa, for physical chemists, this Letter also emphasizes that future semiclassical simulations of intersystem crossing (which have heretofore ignored Berry force) should be corrected to account for the spin polarization that inevitably arises when dynamics pass near conical intersections.

We theoretically explore atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to position-dependent spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This SOC can be produced by cyclically laser coupling four internal atomic ground (or metastable) states in an environment where the detuning from resonance depends on position. The resulting spin-orbit coupled BEC phase-separates into domains, each of which contain density modulations - stripes - aligned either along the x or y direction. In each domain, the stripe orientation is determined by the sign of the local detuning. When these stripes have mismatched spatial periods along domain boundaries, non-trivial topological spin textures form at the interface, including skyrmions-like spin vortices and anti-vortices. In contrast to vortices present in conventional rotating BECs, these spin-vortices are stable topological defects that are not present in the corresponding homogenous stripe-phase spin-orbit coupled BECs.
The effects of spin independent hybridization potential and spin orbit coupling on two band superconductor with equal time s-wave inter band pairing order parameter is investigated theoretically. To study symmetry classes in two band superconductors the Gorkov equations are solved analytically. By defining spin singlet and spin triplet s wave order parameter due to two band degree of freedom the symmetry classes of Cooper pair are studied. For spin singlet case it is shown that spin independent hybridization generates Cooper pair belongs to even frequency spin singlet even momentum even band parity (ESEE) symmetry class for both intraband and interband pairing correlations. For spin triplet order parameter, intraband pairing correlation generates odd frequency spin triplet even momentum even band parity (OTEE) symmetry class whereas, interband pairing correlation generates even frequency spin triplet even momentum odd band parity ETEO) class. For the spin singlet, spin orbit coupling generates pairing correlation that belongs to odd frequency spin singlet odd momentum even band parity (OSOE) symmetry class and even frequency spin singlet even momentum even band parity (ESEE) for intraband and interband pairing correlation respectively. In the spin triplet case for itraband and interband correlation, spin orbit coupling generates even-frequency spin triplet odd momentum even band parity (ETOE) and even frequency spin triplet even momentum odd band parity (ETEO) respectively.
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed for the high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) isomers of a series of iron(II) spin crossover complexes with nitrogen ligands. The calculated charge densities have been analyzed in the framew ork of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). For a number of iron(II) complexes with substituted tris(pyrazolyl) ligands the energy difference between HS and LS isomers, the spin state splitting, has been decomposed into atomic contributions in order to rationalize changes of the spin state splitting due to substituent effects.
