We study the nonlocal spin and charge current generation in a finite metallic element on the surface of magnetic insulators such as tcb{yttrium iron garnet} due to the absorption of the magnetic surface plasmon (MSP). Whereas a surface plasmon is completely reflected by a metal, tcb{an} MSP tcb{can be} absorbed tcb{due to the absence of backward states}. The tcb{injection of} MSP generates a voltage in the longitudinal direction parallel to the wave vector, tcb{with the voltage} proportional to input power. If the metal is a ferromagnet, a spin current can also be tcb{induced} in the longitudinal direction. Our tcb{results provide a way to improve upon} integrated circuits of spintronics and spin wave logic devices.

We investigate the spin and charge densities of surface states of the three-dimensional topological insulator $Bi_2Se_3$, starting from the continuum description of the material [Zhang {em et al.}, Nat. Phys. 5, 438 (2009)]. The spin structure on sur
faces other than the 111 surface has additional complexity because of a misalignment of the contributions coming from the two sublattices of the crystal. For these surfaces we expect new features to be seen in the spin-resolved ARPES experiments, caused by a non-helical spin-polarization of electrons at the individual sublattices as well as by the interference of the electron waves emitted coherently from two sublattices. We also show that the position of the Dirac crossing in spectrum of surface states depends on the orientation of the interface. This leads to contact potentials and surface charge redistribution at edges between different facets of the crystal.
Heat generated by spin currents in spintronics-based devices is typically much less than that generated by charge current flows in conventional electronic devices. However, the conventional approaches for excitation of spin currents based on spin-pum
ping and spin Hall effect are limited in efficiency which restricts their application for viable spintronic devices. We propose a novel type of photonic-crystal (PC) based structures for efficient and tunable optically-induced spin current generation via the Spin Seebeck and inverse spin Hall effects. It is experimentally demonstrated that optical surface modes localized at the PC surface covered by ferromagnetic layer and materials with giant spin-orbit coupling (SOC) notably increase the efficiency of the optically-induced spin current generation and provides its tunability by modifying light wavelength or angle of incidence. Up to 100% of the incident light power can be transferred to heat within the SOC layer and, therefore, to spin current. Importantly, high efficiency becomes accessible even for ultra-thin SOC layers. Moreover, surface patterning of the PC-based spintronic nanostructure allows local generation of spin currents at the pattern scales rather than diameter of the laser beam.
Here we present an all-optical plasmon coupling scheme, utilising the intrinsic nonlinear optical response of graphene. We demonstrate coupling of free-space, visible light pulses to the surface plasmons in a planar, un-patterned graphene sheet by us
ing nonlinear wave mixing to match both the wavevector and energy of the surface wave. By carefully controlling the phase-matching conditions, we show that one can excite surface plasmons with a defined wavevector and direction across a large frequency range, with an estimated photon efficiency in our experiments approaching $10^{-5}$.
We study propagation of the Gaussian beam of spin waves and its reflection from the edge of thin yttrium-iron-garnet film with in-plane magnetization perpendicular to this edge. We have performed micromagnetic simulations supported by analytical calc
ulations to investigate influence of the surface magnetic anisotropy present at the film edge on the reflection, especially in the context of the Goos-Hanchen effect. We have shown the appearance of a negative lateral shift between reflected and incident spin wave beams spots. This shift is particularly sensitive to the surface magnetic anisotropy value and is a result of the Goos-Hanchen shift which is sensitive to the magnitude of the anisotropy and of the bending of spin wave beam. We have demonstrated that the demagnetizing field provide graded increase of the refractive index for spin waves, which is responsible for the bending.
Electromagnetic fields bound tightly to charge carriers in a two-dimensional sheet, namely surface plasmons, are shielded by metallic plates that are a part of a device. It is shown that for epitaxial graphenes, the propagation velocity of surface pl
asmons is suppressed significantly through a partial screening of the electron charge by the interface states. On the basis of analytical calculations of the electron lifetime determined by the screened Coulomb interaction, we show that the screening effect gives results in agreement with those of a recent experiment.
