Orbital angular momentum and torque transfer play central roles in a wide range of magnetic textures and devices including skyrmions and spin-torque electronics(1-4). Analogous topological structures are now also being explored in…

Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic wave which is tightly localised beyond the diffraction limit at metallic surfaces. Recently, it is theoretically proposed that the angular momentum conversion between the SPP and…

We develop a theory for spin transport in magnetic metals that treats the contribution of magnons and electrons on equal footing. As an application we consider thermally-driven spin injection across an interface between a magnetic metal and…
