It is shown that a useful relativistic generalization of the conventional spin density for the case of moving electrons is the expectation value of the four-component Bargmann-Wigner polarization operator. An exact equation of motion for…

In general relativity the fermions are treated from the perspective of the gauged Lorentz group and by introducing the corresponding gauge fields the spin connection. This procedure is intimately related to the so-called "vielbein"…
We study the problem of spin diffusion in magnetic systems without long-range order. We discuss the example of the 1D spin chain. For the system described by the Heisenberg Hamiltonian we show that there are no diffusive excitations.…
In the spirit of multi-scale modeling, we develop a theoretical framework for spin-lattice coupling that connects, on the one hand, to ab initio calculations of spin-lattice coupling parameters and, on the other hand, to the magneto-elastic…
