Spin-current-induced charge current
  We show that the injection of a pure spin current (not accompanied by charge current) into a ring can induce a circulating charge current in the ring, provided that transport coefficients of the ring are spin-dependent and inhomogeneous. As an example, we consider a hybrid ferromagnet(F)-normal metal(N) ring system and calculate the magnitude of the charge current induced by the pure spin current injection. This phenomenon may have relevance for spintronic applications.
