Generation and Measurement of Non Equilibrium Spin Currents in Two Terminal Systems
arXiv:0707.1367 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.77.153307
Abstract
Generation and measurement of non-equilibrium spin current in two probe configuration is discussed. It is argued and shown that spin current can be generated in two terminal non-magnetic system. Further it is shown that these spin currents can be measured via conductance in two probe configuration when the detector probe is ferromagnetic.
