In Framing a Radical African Atlantic Holger Weiss presents the first analysis of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers and the attempts by the Communist International to infiltrate in the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa during the interwar period

We show that a tight-binding model device consisting of a laterally connected ring at half filling in a tangent time-dependent magnetic field can in principle be designed to pump a purely spin current. The process exploits the spin-orbit interaction in the ring. This behavior is understood...

A general technique of exact calculation of any correlation functions for the special class of one-dimensional spin models containing small clusters of quantum spins assembled to a chain by alternating with the single Ising spins is proposed. The technique is a natural generalization of that in...
