Quantum mechanics predicts that the equilibrium state of a resistive electrical circuit contains a dissipationless current. This persistent current has been the focus of considerable theoretical and experimental work, but its basic properties remain a topic of controversy. The main experimental challenges in studying persistent currents have been the small signals they produce and their exceptional sensitivity to their environment. To address these issues we have developed a new technique for detecting persistent currents which offers greatly improved sensitivity and reduced measurement back action. This allows us to measure the persistent current in metal rings over a wider range of temperature, ring size, and magnetic field than has been possible previously. We find that measurements of both a single ring and arrays of rings agree well with calculations based on a model of non-interacting electrons.

We have measured the persistent current in individual normal metal rings over a wide range of magnetic fields. From this data, we extract the first six cumulants of the single-ring persistent current distribution. Our results are consistent with the
theoretical prediction that this distribution should be nearly Gaussian (i.e., that these cumulants should be nearly zero) for diffusive metallic rings. This measurement highlights the particular sensitivity of persistent current to the mesoscopic fluctuations within a single coherent volume.
We calculate the contribution of superconducting fluctuations to the mesoscopic persistent current of an ensemble of rings, each made of a superconducting layer in contact with a normal one, in the Cooper limit. The superconducting transition tempera
ture of the bilayer decays very quickly with the increase of the relative width of the normal layer. In contrast, when the Thouless energy is larger than the temperature then the suppression of the persistent current with the increase of this relative width is much slower than that of the transition temperature. This effect is similar to that predicted for magnetic impurities, although the proximity effect considered here results in pair-weakening as opposed to pair-breaking.
Persistent currents in rings constructed from carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically. After studying the contribution of finite temperature or quenched disorder on covalent rings, the complexity due to the bundle packing is addressed. The ca
se of interacting nanotori and self-interacting coiled nanotubes are analyzed in details in relation with experiments.
Pure spin currents, i.e. the transport of angular momentum without an accompanying charge current, represent a new, promising avenue in modern spintronics from both a fundamental and an application point of view. Such pure spin currents can not only
flow in electrical conductors via mobile charge carriers, but also in magnetically ordered electrical insulators as a flow of spin excitation quanta. Over the course of the last years remarkable results have been obtained in heterostructures consisting of magnetically ordered insulators interfaced with a normal metal, where a pure spin current flows across the interface. This topical review article deals with the fundamental principles, experimental findings and recent developments in the field of pure spin currents in magnetically ordered insulators. We here put our focus onto four different manifestations of pure spin currents in such heterostructures: The spin pumping effect, the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect, the spin Hall magnetoresistance and the all-electrical detection of magnon transport in non-local device concepts. In this article, we utilize a common theoretical framework to explain all four effects and explain important material systems (especially rare-earth iron garnets) used in the experiments. For each effect we introduce basic measurement techniques and detection schemes and discuss their application in the experiment. We account for the remarkable progress achieved in each field by reporting the recent progress in each field and by discussing research highlights obtained in our group. Finally, we conclude the review article with an outlook on future challenges and obstacles in the field of pure spin currents in magnetically ordered insulator / normal metal heterostructures.
We present a detailed theory of induced persistent current produced by hyperfine interaction in mesoscopic rings based on a 2D-electron (hole) gas in the absence of external magnetic field. The persistent current emerges due to combined action of the
hyperfine interaction of charge carriers with polarized nuclei, spin-orbit interaction and Berry phase.
