  Electrostatic control of the magnetization of a normal mesoscopic conductor
is analyzed in a hybrid superconductor-normal-superconductor system. This
effect stems from the interplay between the non-equilibrium condition in the
normal region and the Zeeman splitting of the quasiparticle density of states
of the superconductor subjected to a static in-plane magnetic field. Unexpected
spin-dependent effects such as magnetization suppression, diamagnetic-like
response of the susceptibility as well as spin-polarized current generation are
the most remarkable features presented. The impact of scattering events is
evaluated and let us show that this effect is compatible with realistic
material properties and fabrication techniques.
