Superconductors are famously capable of supporting persistent electrical currents, that is, currents that flow without any measurable decay as long as the material is kept in the superconducting state. We introduce here a class of materials…

We study theoretically the contribution of fluctuating Cooper pairs to the persistent current in superconducting rings threaded by a magnetic flux. For sufficiently small rings, in which the coherence length $\xi$ exceeds the radius $R$,…

We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents respectively describe the translational and rotational…

We study the persistent current circulating along a mesoscopic ring with a dot side-coupled to it when threaded by a magnetic field. A cluster including the dot and its vicinity is diagonalized and embedded into the rest of the system. The…

Spin-polarized current effect is studied on the static and dynamic magnetization of the antiferromagnet in a ferromagnet - antiferromagnet junction. The macrospin approximation is generalized to antiferromagnets. Canted antiferromagnetic…

We show that the injection of a pure spin current (not accompanied by charge current) into a ring can induce a circulating charge current in the ring, provided that transport coefficients of the ring are spin-dependent and inhomogeneous. As…

In multichannel rings, evanescent modes will always co-exist with propagating modes. The evanescent modes can carry a very large diamagnetic persistent current that can oscillate with energy and are very sensitive to impurity scattering.…
