We show that a small conducting object, such as a nanosphere or a nanoring, embedded into or placed in the vicinity of the two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) and subjected to a circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation induces ``twisted plasmonic oscillations in the adjacent 2DEL. The oscillations are rectified due to the hydrodynamic nonlinearities leading to the helicity sensitive circular dc current and to a magnetic moment. This hydrodynamic inverse Faraday effect (HIFE) can be observed at room temperature in different materials. The HIFE is dramatically enhanced in a periodic array of the nanospheres forming a resonant plasmonic coupler. Such a coupler exposed to a circularly polarized wave converts the entire 2DEL into a vortex state. Hence, the twisted plasmonic modes support resonant plasmonic-enhanced gate-tunable optical magnetization. Due to the interference of the plasmonic and Drude contributions, the resonances have an asymmetric Fano-like shape. These resonances present a signature of the 2DEL properties not affected by contacts and interconnects and, therefore, providing the most accurate information about the 2DEL properties. In particular, the widths of the resonances encode direct information about the momentum relaxation time and viscosity of the 2DEL.

A circularly polarized light can induce a dissipationless dc current in a quantum nanoring which is responsible for a resonant helicity-driven contribution to magnetic moment. This current is not suppressed by thermal averaging despite its quantum na ture. We refer to this phenomenon as the quantum resonant inverse Faraday effect. For weak electromagnetic field, when the characteristic coupling energy is small compared to the energy level spacing, we predict narrow resonances in the circulating current and, consequently, in the magnetic moment of the ring. For strong fields, the resonances merge into a wide peak with a width determined by the spectral curvature. We further demonstrate that weak short-range disorder splits the resonances and induces additional particularly sharp and high resonant peaks in dc current and magnetization. In contrast, long-range disorder leads to a chaotic behavior of the system in the vicinity of the separatrix that divides the phase space of the system into regions with dynamically localized and delocalized states.
We study the coupled dynamics of spin and charge currents in a two-dimensional electron gas in the transport diffusive regime. For systems with inversion symmetry there are established relations between the spin Hall effect, the anomalous Hall effect and the inverse spin Hall effect. However, in two-dimensional electron gases of semiconductors like GaAs, inversion symmetry is broken so that the standard arguments do not apply. We demonstrate that in the presence of a Rashba type of spin-orbit coupling (broken structural inversion symmetry) the anomalous Hall effect, the spin Hall and inverse spin Hall effect are substantially different effects. Furthermore we discuss the inverse spin Hall effect for a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling; our results agree with a recent experiment.
We have studied helicity dependent photocurrent (HDP) in Bi-based Dirac semimetal thin films. HDP increases with film thickness before it saturates, changes its sign when the majority carrier type is changed from electrons to holes and takes a sharp peak when the Fermi level lies near the charge neutrality point. These results suggest that irradiation of circularly polarized light to Dirac semimetals induces an effective magnetic field that aligns the carrier spin along the light spin angular momentum and generates a spin current along the film normal. The effective magnetic field is estimated to be orders of magnitude larger than that caused by the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in typical transition metals. We consider the small effective mass and the large $g$-factor, characteristics of Dirac semimetals with strong spin orbit coupling, are responsible for the giant IFE, opening pathways to develop systems with strong light-spin coupling.
Fluid dynamics is one of the cornerstones of modern physics and has recently found applications in the transport of electrons in solids. In most solids electron transport is dominated by extrinsic factors, such as sample geometry and scattering from impurities. However in the hydrodynamic regime Coulomb interactions transform the electron motion from independent particles to the collective motion of a viscous `electron fluid. The fluid viscosity is an intrinsic property of the electron system, determined solely by the electron-electron interactions. Resolving the universal intrinsic viscosity is challenging, as it only affects the resistance through interactions with the sample boundaries, whose roughness is not only unknown but also varies from device to device. Here we eliminate all unknown parameters by fabricating samples with smooth sidewalls to achieve the perfect slip boundary condition, which has been elusive both in molecular fluids and electronic systems. We engineer the device geometry to create viscous dissipation and reveal the true intrinsic hydrodynamic properties of a 2D system. We observe a clear transition from ballistic to hydrodynamic electron motion, driven by both temperature and magnetic field. We directly measure the viscosity and electron-electron scattering lifetime (the Fermi quasiparticle lifetime) over a wide temperature range without fitting parameters, and show they have a strong dependence on electron density that cannot be explained by conventional theories based on the Random Phase Approximation.
We present numerical calculations of the electron effective mass in an interacting, ferromagnetic, two-dimensional electron system. We consider quantum interaction effects associated with the charge-density fluctuation induced many-body vertex correc tions. Our theory, which is free of adjustable parameters, reveals that the effective mass is suppressed (relative to its band value) in the strong coupling limit, in good agreement with the results of recent experimental measurements.
