It has become common practice to model large spin ensembles as an effective pseudospin with total angular momentum J = N x j, where j is the spin per particle. Such approaches (at least implicitly) restrict the quantum state of the ensemble…
Real magnonic crystals - periodic magnetic media for spin wave (magnon) propagation - may contain some defects. We report theoretical spin wave spectra of a one dimensional magnonic crystal with an isolated defect. The latter is modeled by…
In this comment, we emphasize that the self-consistent spin wave theory in a recent paper [J. K"onig, H.-H. Lin, and A. H. MacDonald, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5628 (2000)] leads to incorrect results both at low temperatures and near T_c. Thus…
We revisit the large instanton contribution to the gluon Pauli form factor of the constituent quark noted by Kochelev. We check that it contributes sizably to the single spin asymmetry in polarized $p_\uparrow p \rightarrow \pi X$. We use…
We determine the complete set of generalized spin squeezing inequalities, given in terms of the collective angular momentum components, for particles with an arbitrary spin. They can be used for the experimental detection of entanglement in…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to errors in the X-ray diffraction data. Other measured data are not affected; however, the errors significantly change the interpretation and conclusions, and thus warrant withdrawal and…
An action with unconventional supersymmetry was introduced in an earlier paper. Here it is shown that this action leads to standard physics for fermions and gauge bosons at low energy, but to testable extensions of standard physics for…
We discuss the problem of defining the center of mass in general relativity and the so-called spin supplementary condition. The different spin conditions in the literature, their physical significance, and the momentum-velocity relation for…
A pedagogical presentation of single-spin asymmetries and transversity is offered. Detailed discussion is given of various aspects of single-spin asymmetries in lepton-nucleon and in hadron-hadron scattering and of the role of perturbative…
The Halting Problem is ill-conceived and ill-defined.
Spin chains have been proposed as a reliable and convenient way of transferring information and entanglement in a quantum computational context. Nonetheless, it has to be expected that any physical implementation of these systems will be…
Higher order corrections are obtained for the perihelion precession in binary systems like OJ287, Sagittarius A*-S2 and H1821+643 using both the Schwarzschild metric and the Kerr metric to take into account the spin effect. The corrections…
Complex macroscopic behaviour can arise in many-body systems with only very simple elements as a consequence of the combination of competition and inhomogeneity. This paper attempts to illustrate how statistical physics has driven this…
The essentially unique torsionful version of the classical two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden is presented. All the metric spinors and connecting objects that arise here are formally the same as the ones borne by…
The paper by Bowen, Mancini, Fessatidis, and Murawski (2012 Phys. Scr. {\bf 85}, 065005) demonstrates in a dramatic fashion the serious difficulties that can arise when one rushes to perform numerical studies before understanding the…
The arguments by Pandres that the double valued spherical harmonics provide a basis for the irreducible spinor representation of the three dimensional rotation group are further developed and justified. The usual arguments against the…
We respond to S.-K. Yip's criticism of our work on the classification of spinor condensates. We explain why his criticism is unfounded, emphasizing that the phases he mentions have been addressed in our paper cond-mat/0611230. To provide a…
The observation of spin-dependent transport through organic chiral structures has sparked numerous fundamental and applicative questions ranging from biology to spintronics. By now, there is a broad consensus that the effect results from…
The low energy magnetic excitation spectrum of the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic $S = 1/2$ chain system Sr$_2$CuO$_3$ with Ni- and Ca-impurities is studied by neutron spectroscopy. In all cases, a defect-induced spectral pseudogap is…
A summary is given of the experimental and theoretical results presented in the working group on spin physics. New data on inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, combined with theoretical studies of the polarized…
