Testing the validity of the single-spin approximation in inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms
Gravitational-wave signals from black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins are described by four parameters -- each black hole's mass and spin. It has been shown that the dominant spin effects can be modeled by a \emph{single} spin parameter, leading to the development of several \emph{three-parameter} waveform mode...

An electric-field representation of the harmonic XY model
The two-dimensional harmonic XY (HXY) model is a spin model in which the classical spins interact via a piecewise parabolic potential. We argue that the HXY model should be regarded as the canonical classical lattice spin model of phase fluctuations in two-dimensional condensates, as it is the simplest model that guara...

RIXS observation of bond-directional nearest-neighbor excitations in the Kitaev material Na$_2$IrO$_3$
Spin-orbit coupling locks spin direction and spatial orientation and generates, in semi-classical magnets, a local spin easy-axis and associated ordering. Quantum spin-1/2's defy this fate: rather than spins becoming locally anisotropic, the spin-spin interactions do. Consequently interactions become dependent on the s...

Nematic spin correlations pervading the phase diagram of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$
We use resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Fe-L$_3$ edge to study the spin excitations of uniaxial-strained and unstrained FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ ($0\leq x\leq0.21$) samples. The measurements on unstrained samples reveal dispersive spin excitations in all doping levels, which show only minor doping dependenc...

Superconducting-Spin Reorientation in Spin-Triplet Multiple Superconducting Phases of UTe2
Superconducting (SC) state has spin and orbital degrees of freedom, and spin-triplet superconductivity shows multiple SC phases due to the presence of these degrees of freedom. However, the observation of spin-direction rotation occurring inside the SC state (SC spin rotation) has hardly been reported. UTe2, a recently...

Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits
Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. At lowest order, the smaller body moves along a geodesic of the larger black hole's spacetime. Post-geodes...

Light isovector resonances in $π^- p \to π^-π^-π^+ p$ at 190 GeV/${\it c}$
We have performed the most comprehensive resonance-model fit of $\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+$ states using the results of our previously published partial-wave analysis (PWA) of a large data set of diffractive-dissociation events from the reaction $\pi^- + p \to \pi^-\pi^-\pi^+ + p_\text{recoil}$ with a 190 GeV/$c$ pion beam.

Spin-exchange interactions of spin-one bosons in optical lattices: singlet, nematic and dimerized Phases
We consider insulating phases of cold spin-1 bosonic particles with antiferromagnetic interactions, such as Na-23, in optical lattices. We show that spin-exchange interactions give rise to several distinct phases, which differ in their spin correlations. In two- and three- dimensional lattices insulating phases with od...

As a relativistic quantum mechanical effect, it is shown that the electric field exerting a transverse force on an electron spin 1/2 only if the electron is moving and the spin is polarized along the electric field. The spin force, analogue to the Lorentz for on an electron charge in a magnetic field, is perpendicular ...

Disturbance of spin equilibrium by current through the interface of noncollinear ferromagnets
Boundary conditions are derived that determine the penetration of spin current through an interface of two non-collinear ferromagnets with an arbitrary angle between their magnetization vectors.

Spin transport in Heisenberg antiferromagnets
We analyze spin transport in insulating antiferromagnets described by the XXZ Heisenberg model in two and three dimensions.

Spin symmetry in the anti-nucleon spectrum
We discuss spin and pseudo-spin symmetry in the spectrum of single nucleons and single anti-nucleons in a nucleus. As an example we use relativistic mean field theory to investigate single anti-nucleon spectra. We find a very well developed spin symmetry in single anti-neutron and single anti-proton spectra. The domina...

Spin rotation, spin filtering, and spin transfer in directional tunneling through non-centrosymmetric semiconductor barriers
We consider spin-dependent tunneling through a gallium arsenide barrier, a material which has no inversion symmetry. We are dealing with free electrons, with one effective mass and a spin-splitting in the barrier material. When we take into account both the spin-orbit interaction and the absence of the inversion symmet...

Spin-selective Peierls transition in interacting one-dimensional conductors with spin-orbit interaction
Interacting one-dimensional conductors with Rashba spin-orbit coupling are shown to exhibit a spin-selective Peierls-type transition into a mixed spin-charge-density-wave state. The transition leads to a gap for one-half of the conducting modes, which is strongly enhanced by electron-electron interactions. The other ha...

By tuning the channel length of DQW and the magnitude of the extern...
