The dynamics of a domain wall driven by a spin-polarized current in a mesoscopic system is studied numerically. Spin-mixing in the states of the conduction electrons is fully taken into account. When the Fermi energy of the electrons is…

We introduce a topologically distinct skyrmion, termed a spin-flux skyrmion, which shares the same real-space magnetization profile as a conventional skyrmion but differs fundamentally in its underlying topological structure. This…

Photovoltaic effect, e.g., solar cells, converts light into DC electric current. This phenomenon takes place in various setups such as in noncentrosymmetric crystals and semiconductor pn junctions. Recently, we proposed a theory for…

We simulate scattering of electrons by a chain of antiferromagnetically coupled quantum Heisenberg spins, to analyze spin-transfer effects not described by the classical models of magnetism. Our simulations demonstrate efficient excitation…

Surface sensitive electric current measurements are important experimental tools poorly corroborated by theoretical models. We show that the drift-diffusion equations offer a framework for a consistent description of such experiments. The…

We explore electron transport in a thin cylinder, attached to two semi-infinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes, in the presence of both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fluxes. A simple tight-binding model is used to describe the…

We present a simple and pedagogical derivation of the spin current as the linear response to an external electric field for both Rashba and Luttinger spin-orbital coupling Hamiltonians. Except for the adiabatic approximation, our derivation…

The spin-dependent inertial force in an accelerating system under the presence of electromagnetic fields is derived from the generally covariant Dirac equation. Spin currents are evaluated by the force up to the lowest order of the…

We study the nonequilibrium spin current through a quantum dot consisting of two localized spin-1/2 coupled to two ferromagnetic insulators. The influence of an intra-dot magnetic field and exchange coupling, different dot-reservoir…

We study the equilibrium and nonequilibrium electronic transport properties of multiprobe topological systems using a combination of the Landauer-B\"uttiker approach and nonequilibrium Green's functions techniques. We obtain general…

In the spin energy excitation mode of normal metals and superconductors, spin up and down electrons (or quasiparticles) carry different heat currents. This mode occurs only when spin up and down energy distribution functions are…

Some strategies for reducing energy consumption in information processing devices involve the use of spin rather than charge to carry information. This idea is especially attractive when the spin current is a collective one carried by the…

Semiclassical theories of electron and spin transport in metallic magnetic structures are reviewed with emphasis on the role of disorder and electronic band structures in the current perpendicular to the interface plane (CPP) transport…

We show that nonequilibrium spin injection into a superconductor can generate an anomalous supercurrent or induce a phase gradient, even for spin voltages below the superconducting gap. Our mechanism does not require breaking time-reversal…

According to the spin-torque model, current-driven magnetic dynamics in ferromagnetic multilayers is determined by the transfer of electron spin perpendicular to the layers' magnetizations. By separating the largest contributions to the…

We consider properties of a two-dimensional electron system in a random magnetic field. It is assumed that the magnetic field not only influences orbital electron motion but also acts on the electron spin. For calculations, we suggest a new…

Spin transport in magnetic tunnel junctions in the presence of spin diffusion is considered theoretically. Combining ballistic tunneling across the barrier and diffusive transport in the electrodes, we solve the spin dynamics equation in…

We consider an electron coupled to a random magnetic field with local correlations and eventually non-zero average value. Starting from the source-term formalism of Levine, Libby and Pruisken, we define a generating function for static…

Injecting spins into a semiconductor channel and transforming the spin information into a significant electrical output signal is a long standing problem in spintronics. Actually, this is the prerequisite of several concepts of spin…

The notion of a spin field effect transistor, where transistor action is realized by manipulating the spin degree of freedom of charge carriers instead of the charge degree of freedom, has captivated researchers for at least three decades.…
