Abstract
We describe the effects of boundary slip in spin-polarized quantum liquids and gases. The slip coefficients in boundary conditions form a 3 × 3 matrix. The off-diagonal coefficients are expressed via each other with the help of the Onsager relations. We calculate accurate lower and upper bounds of all slip coefficients for polarized degenerate Fermi liquids and for dilute gases at arbitrary temperatures. The calculations are based on the transport equation for spin-polarized systems with diffuse boundary conditions. The results for gases are especially simple in the limiting cases of low-temperature degenerate systems or in the high-temperature classical Boltzmann regime. All slip coefficients are proportional to the mean free path and increase with increasing spin polarization. As a by-product the theory describes the slip effects in binary mixtures of classical gases or Fermi liquids when the role of spin polarization is played by the concentration of the mixture.
