We introduce the continuity equation for the electromagnetic spin angular momentum (SAM) in matter and discuss the torque associated with the SAM transfer in terms of effective spin forces acting in a material. In plasmonic metal, these spin forces result in plasmogalvanic phenomenon which is pinning the plasmon-induced electromotive force to atomically-thin layer at the metal interface.
