Electronic properties like current flow are generally independent of the electron's spin angular momentum, an internal degree of freedom present in quantum particles. The spin Hall effects (SHEs), first proposed 40 years ago, are an unusual…

We resolve the breakdown of angular momentum conservation on two-dimensional photon tunneling by considering spin Hall effect (SHE) of light. This interesting effect manifests itself as polarization-dependent transverse shifts for a classic…
