Abstract

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--normal-metal 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.
