We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is…
Topological magnets host two sets of gauge fields: that of native Maxwell electromagnetism, thanks to the magnetic dipole moment of its constituent microscopic moments; and that of the emergent gauge theory describing the topological phase.…
Stars are, generically, rotating and magnetised objects with a misalignment between their magnetic and rotation axes. Since a magnetic field induces a permanent distortion to its host, it provides effective rigidity even to a fluid star,…
Measurements of magnetic induction near an ice rod in the strong electric field were carried out. Theoretical estimation of the magnetic induction was made. It was found that in the average the experimental values of magnetic induction were…

It is well known that the charge current in a conductor is proportional to the applied electric field. This famous relation, known as Ohm's law, is the result of relaxation of the current due to charge carriers undergoing collisions,…

Quantum anomalies are one of the subtlest properties of relativistic field theories. They give rise to non-dissipative transport coefficients in the hydrodynamic expansion. In particular a magnetic field can induce an anomalous current via…

We consider the reflection of a Dirac plane wave on a perfectly reflecting plane described by chiral MIT boundary conditions and determine the rotation of the spin in the reflected component of the wave. We solve the analogous problem for a…
The conservation law for the orbital plus spin angular momentum of a free Dirac particle in curved spacetime requires that the affine connection has the antisymmetric part: the torsion tensor, which extends general relativity to the…
The spin flip of the conduction electrons at the interface of a ferromagnetic and a nonmagnetic part of a metallic wire, suspended between two electrodes, is shown to tort the wire when a current is driven through it. In order to enhance…
Spin-motive force, i.e., the electric current induced by magnetization dynamics, is theoretically studied beyond the Thouless-pump paradigm. In contrast to the linear-response regime, where the induced current is purely AC, we show that…
We present a brief review on spin transverse force, which exerts on the spin as the electron is moving in an electric field. This force, analogue to the Lorentz force on electron charge, is perpendicular to the electric field and spin…
A pure spin current formed by opposite spins moving in opposite directions is a rank-2 axial tensor which breaks the inversion symmetry. Thus a spin current has a second-order optical susceptibility, with unique polarization-dependence…
Spin-polarized electron transport driven by inhomogeneous magnetic dynamics is discussed in the limit of a large exchange coupling. Electron spins rigidly following the time-dependent magnetic profile experience spin-dependent fictitious…
The spin polarized charge transport is systematically analyzed as a thermally driven stochastic process. The approach is based on Kramers' equation describing the semiclassical motion under the inclusion of stochastic and damping forces.…
In metallic ferromagnets, an electric current is accompanied by a flux of angula r momentum, also called spin current. In multilayers, spatial variations of the spin current correspond to drive torques exerted on a magnetic layer. These…
