چکیده
Prospect of building electronic devices in which electron spins store and transport information has revived interest in the spin relaxation of conduction electrons. Since spin-polarized currents cannot flow indefinitely, basic spin-electronic devices must be smaller than the distance electrons diffuse without losing its spin memory. Some recent experimental and theoretical effort has been devoted to the issue of modulating the spin relaxation. It has been shown, for example, that in certain materials doping, alloying, or changing dimensionality can reduce or enhance the spin relaxation by several orders of magnitude. This brief review presents these efforts in the perspective of the current understanding of the spin relaxation of conduction electrons in nonmagnetic semiconductors and metals.

We examine the spin-reflection positivity of the ground state of the Kondo lattice model at half-filling with the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange couplings J = 0. For every positive U > 0, where U is the Coulomb interaction between the conduction electrons, we can show that the ground state is unique.

The exact nonequilibrium time evolution of the momentum distribution for a finite many particle system in one dimension with a linear energy dispersion coupled to optical phonons is presented. For distinguishable particles the influence function of the phonon bath can be evaluated also for a finite particle density in the thermodynamic limit. In the case of fermions the exact fulfillment of the...

Recent developments in the analysis of finite temperature dissipationless transport in inte-grable quantum many body problems are presented. In particular, we will discuss: (i) the role played by the conservation laws in systems as the spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain and the one-dimensional Hubbard model, (ii) exact results obtained using the Bethe ansatz method on the long time decay of current corr...
