Using a hydrodynamic model of the free electron gas of metal, we theoretically investigate optically-induced DC current loops in a plasmonic nanostructure. Such current loops originate from an optical rectification process relying on three electromotive forces, one of which arises from an optical spin-orbit interaction. The resulting static magnetic field is found to be maximum and dramatically confined at the corners of the plasmonic nanostructure, which reveals the ability of metallic discontinuities to concentrate and tailor static magnetic fields on the nanoscale.
