Photonic wheels carry transverse spin, which is locked to the propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave. Therefore, photonic wheels are attractive for spin manipulation and read-out in magnetic media. Emission effects are of particular interest. In this work emission phenomena are discussed where directionality is established perpendicular to an externally applied magnetic field for light sources (excitons) located near a surface, breaking the mirror symmetry. In hybrid plasmonic semiconductor structures, we observe a significantly enhanced directionality of up to 60%. The directional emission is studied regarding period dependence of the plasmonic grating and different emission geometries are considered.
