The results reproduce a number of previous findings obtained by various quantum approaches and, at the same time, provide information on the electron spin dynamics and Berry's phase effects over a wider range of experimentally relevant parameters than available previously. This development is relevant to dynamics of bound magnetic polarons and spin dephasing of an electron trapped by an impurity or a quantum dot, and coupled by a contact interaction to neighboring localized magnetic impurities or nuclear spins. Furthermore, it substantiates the applicability of semiclassical models to simulate dynamic properties of spintronic nanostructures with a mesoscopic number of spins.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-07T13:14:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76.60.Es", "03.65.Yz", "73.21.La", "75.50.Pp" ], "keywords": [ "nuclear spins", "confined electron interacting", "semiclassical approach", "simulate dynamic properties", "electron spin dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.91.125204", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2015, "month": "Mar", "volume": 91, "number": 12, "pages": 125204 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015PhRvB..91l5204D" } } }
