    * Abstract:  
    In a device consisting of a ferromagnet (F) and a non* magnetic metal or semiconductor(N), the spin polarized current is injected from F into N, and the spin current and spin accumulation occur in the spin diffusion length (λN), which is in the range of a few 10 nm – a few μm depending on materials. Therefore, in the device with size of the order of λN, the spin current and spin accumulation give rise to a variety of spin dependent phenomena[1]. Here, I will propose two novel properties induced by spin current in nanostructures.
    (ⅰ)The spin current in F transfers its spin angular momentum and energy to the magnetic background. The transferred momentum and energy result in the dynamics of magnetic background and electromotive force, respectively[2,3].
    (ⅱ)The spin current injected into N induces the charge current in the perpendicular direction due to the spin* orbit interaction. It is also possible that the charge current in N is converted into the spin current in the perpendicular direction. Such devices are called the non* local spin Hall devices [4,5,6] .
    The basic concepts of the conversion between spin current and charge current will be discussed.
