The angular momentum propagated by a beam of radiation has two contributions: spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). SAM corresponds to wave polarisation, while OAM-carrying beams are characterized by a phase which…

Spin dynamics of a polarized spin system is studied when the latter is coupled with a resonant electric circuit and is under the action of an external pumping supporting a stationary nonequilibrium magnetization. A complete classification…
