Abstract
The free electron spin dynamics in Kapitza–Dirac (KD) effect had been studied theoretically in one-dimensional standing wave of EUV to X-ray laser with extremely high intensity, which is far beyond experimental realization. Here, we propose to achieve the free electron spin-dependent KD effect in two-dimensional triangular optical lattice with spatial inversion symmetry breaking, and the theoretical results reveal that laser with wavelength in visible or near-IR and five orders of magnitude decreased intensity could lead to obvious spin-dependent KD effect. This work provides the way to realize the free electron spin-dependent KD effect experimentally.
