We propose to use spin hydrodynamics, a two-fluid model of spin propagation, as a generalization of the diffusion equation. We show that in the dense limit spin hydrodynamics reduces to Fick's law and the diffusion equation. In the opposite…

In inhomogeneous environments, the correct expression of the diffusive flux is often not given by the Fick's law $\Gamma = - D \nabla n $. The most general hydrodynamic equation modelling diffusion is indeed the Fokker-Planck Equation…
