In the celebrated Stern-Gerlach experiment an inhomogeneous static magnetic field separates a beam of charge-neutral atoms with opposite spins, thereby driving a ``spin current" normal to the propagation direction. Here we generalize it to…

Spins of charge carriers, paramagnetic centers, and nuclei in semiconductor structures are known to be oriented if circular-polarized light is shined upon the structure. This is due to transfer of angular momentum from photons to various…

We demonstrate that spin current can be generated by an ac voltage in a one-channel quantum wire with strong repulsive electron interactions in the presence of a non-magnetic impurity and uniform static magnetic field. In a certain range of…

A magnetic-field-effect transistor is proposed that generates a spin-polarized current and exhibits a giant negative magnetoresitance. The device consists of a nonmagnetic conducting channel (wire or strip) wrapped, or sandwiched, by a…

The pure spin currents, i.e., the counterflow of particles with opposite spin orientations, can be optically injected in semiconductors. Here, we develop a phenomenological theory, which describes the polarization dependencies of spin…

Stimulated emission is a process during which an atomic system gives away energy to create a coherent photon. It is fundamental to the operation of the optical amplifier. Here we propose two mechanisms for amplifying AC spin currents in a…

Creating, manipulating and detecting spin polarized carriers are the key elements of spin based electronics. Most practical devices use a perpendicular geometry in which the spin currents, describing the transport of spin angular momentum,…

We predict that the flow of unpolarized current in electron-doped GaAs and InP at room temperature is unstable at high electric fields to the dynamic formation of spin-polarized current pulses. Spin-polarized current is spontaneously…

The bulk photovoltaic effect is an experimentally verified phenomenon by which a direct charge current is induced within a non-centrosymmetric material by light illumination. Calculations of its intrinsic contribution, the shift current,…

We propose a time-reversal-even spin generation in second order of electric fields, which dominates the current induced spin polarization in a wide class of centrosymmetric nonmagnetic materials, and leads to a novel nonlinear spin-orbit…

We propose a ``spin-guide'' source for generation of electric currents with a high degree of spin polarization, allowing long-distance transmission of the spin-polarization. In the spin-guide scheme proposed here, a non-magnetic conducting…

Magnetically ordered, electrically insulating materials pave the way towards novel spintronic devices. In these materials the flow of magnetic excitations such as magnons results in pure spin currents. These spin currents can be driven by…

We propose a spin cell based on photon-assisted tunneling through a conventional semiconductor barrier. The Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction is included to break the spin rotation symmetry. Due to the in-plane electric field induced…

Spin-rotation coupling, which is responsible for angular momentum conversion between the electron spin and rotational deformations of elastic media, is exploited for generating spin current. This method requires neither magnetic moments nor…

Manipulation of directional magnon propagation, known as magnon spin current, is essential for developing magnonic memory and logic devices featuring nonvolatile functionalities and ultralow power consumption. Magnon spin current can…

We study theoretically spin current generation from a band insulator with PT symmetry, which is associated with Zener tunneling in strong dc electric fields. Each band in this system is doubly degenerate with opposite spins, but spin…

The phenomena of AC oscillation generated by a DC drive, such as the famous Josephson AC effect in superconductors and Bloch oscillation in solid physics, are of great interest in physics. Here we report another example of such…

We study the spin photogalvanic effect in two-dimensional electron system with structure inversion asymmetry by means of the solution of semiconductor optical Bloch equations. It is shown that a linearly polarized light may inject a pure…

As is well known the absorption of circularly polarized light in semiconductors results in optical orientation of electron spins and helicity-dependent electric photocurrent, and the absorption of linearly polarized light is accompanied by…

We propose a device acting as a spin valve which is based on a double quantum dot structure with parallel topology. Using the exact analytical solution for the noninteracting case we argue that, at a certain constellation of system…
