    1. n a particle, causing them to move at the same frequency. The particle, therefore, becomes a small radiating dipole whose radiation we see as scattered light. The particles may be individual atoms or molecules; it can occur when light travels through transparent solids and liquids, but is most prominently seen in

      This sounds a bit like the Huygens principle, however, unlike Huygens, it results in scatting of light. What is fundamentally different?

    1. the relative motion between the magnetic moment (associated to the spin) and the electric field creates a coupling that distorts the motion of the electrons.

      does this happen classically? Which direction would a bar magnet get pushed if it moves through a uniform magnetic field?

    2. In 1983 Averkiev and Dyakonov[3] proposed a way to measure the inverse spin Hall effect under optical spin orientation in semiconductors.

      inverse implies that there is a normal direction to the spin hall effect. Is the normal direction the same a s the classical b field direction?
