Theory of Angular Magnetoresistance in CPP spin valves

Abstract

The resistance of CPP spin valve is a continuous function of the angle $\theta$ between the magnetizations of both ferromagnets. We use the cicuit theory for non-collinear magnetoelectronics to compute the angular magnetoresistance of CPP spin valves taking the spin accumulation in the ferromagnetic layers into account.
