Abstract Hirsch [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1834 (1999)] recently proposed a spin Hall effect based
on the anomalous scattering mechanism in the absence of spin-flip scattering. Since the …

Magnetic materials have become controllable on the nanometre scale. Such fine structures
exhibit a wide range of fascinating phenomena, such as lowdimensional magnetism …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physics of giant magneto resistance (GMR).
The chapter emphasizes the role of the spin-polarized electronic band structure that is …

The theoretical and experimental studies of the giant magnetoresistance effect in metallic
magnetic multilayers with measuring current perpendicular to the interface planes are …

A quasi one-dimensional model of spin transport in heterogeneous media based on the

Electrodeposition is one of the simpler and cheaper processes available for the fabrication
of thin metal films. Recent developments have made it possible to electrodeposit a wide …

Publisher Summary Magnetoresistance (MR) is the change in electrical resistance of a
material in response to a magnetic field. All metals have an inherent, albeit small, MR owing …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in magnetic
multilayers. Magnetoresistance (MR) is the change in electric resistance of a conductor by a …

It is known that the transfer of spin angular momenta between current carriers and local
moments occurs near the interface of magnetic layers when their moments are noncollinear …

Measurements at 4.2 K of the magnetoresistance of Co/AgMn, Co/CuMn, Co/AgPt, and
Co/CuPt multilayers with the current perpendicular to the layer planes (CPP-MR) show …
