Domain Wall Resistance based on Landauer's Formula

Abstract

The scattering of the electron by a domain wall in a nano-wire is calculated perturbatively to the lowest order. The resistance is calculated by use of Landauer's formula. The result is shown to agree with the result of the linear response theory if the equilibrium is assumed in the four-terminal case.
