A magnonic spin current crossing a ferromagnet-metal interface is accompanied by spin current shot noise arising from the discrete quanta of spin carried by magnons. In thin films, e.g., the spin of so-called squeezed magnons have been…
The magnetization of a ferromagnet (F) driven out of equilibrium injects pure spin current into an adjacent conductor (N). Such F$|$N bilayers have become basic building blocks in a wide variety of spin based devices. We evaluate the shot…
A voltage bias applied to a conductor induces a change of the current noise with respect to the equilibrium noise known as excess noise. We analyze the excess noise of the electronic current flowing through a mesoscopic Aharonov-Bohm ring…
We consider electron transport in ferromagnets or antiferromagnets sandwiched between metals. When spins in the magnetic materials precess, they emit currents into the surrounding conductors. Generally, adiabatic pumping in mesoscopic…
