Spin tunneling in junctions with disordered ferromagnets

P. V. Paluskar, J. J. Attema, G. A. de Wijs +6

We provide compelling evidence to establish that, contrary to one's elementary guess, the tunneling spin polarization (TSP) of amorphous CoFeB is larger than that of highly texture…

Mean-field behavior for long- and finite range Ising model, percolation and self-avoiding walk

Markus Heydenreich, Remco van der Hofstad, Akira Sakai

We consider self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model with long and finite range. By means of the lace expansion we prove mean-field behavior for these models if $d>2(α\w…
