The apparent coupling of nuclear spin of atomic mercury with the rotation of the
earth has been observed by Venema et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68 ( 1992) 1351. The significance and implications of this result for the physics of accelerated systems are briefly discussed.

Review of the Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect, 2023
A consequence of this spin-gravitomagnetic field coupling is the violation of the universality of free fall; for instance, a free neutron with spin up will in general fall differently in the gravitational field of the Earth than a free neutron with spin down [90, 91]. For a recent treatment of spin-gravity coupling, see [92].https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.07103.pdf

On free fall of fermions and antifermions
In particular, the free-fall observation of neutrons [1–3] shows that the Standard Model has to be extended to comprise general relativity. This circumstance leads to a problem of field quantisation in curved spacetime.
The local curvature length nearby such black holes can be much smaller than the hydrogen-atom size. Thus, the question arises as to whether the wave-packet description of elementary and composite particles is adequate once their quantum size
is comparable to a local curvature length
