Conduction Electron Scattering and Spin-Flipping at Sputtered Co/Ni Interfaces

H. Y. T. Nguyen, R. Acharyya, E. Huey +6

Current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance (CPP-MR) measurements let us quantify conduction electron scattering and spin-flipping at a sputtered ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (…

Sensitivity of Ag/Al Interface Specific Resistances to Interfacial Intermixing

A. Sharma, N. Theodoropoulou, Shuai Wang +3

We have measured an Ag/Al interface specific resistance, 2AR(Ag/Al)(111) = 1.4 fOhm-m^2, that is twice that predicted for a perfect interface, 50% larger than for a 2 ML 50%-50% al…

Specific Resistance of Pd/Ir Interfaces

R. Acharyya, H. Y. T. Nguyen, R. Loloee +4

From measurements of the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) total specific resistance (AR = area times resistance) of sputtered Pd/Ir multilayers, we derive the interface specifi…

First principles study on the spin transfer torques

Shuai Wang, Yuan Xu, Ke Xia

An efficient first principles method was developed to calculate spin transfer torques in layered system with noncollinear magnetization. The complete scattering wave function is de…

Spin-transfer torques in anti-ferromagnetic metals from first principles

Yuan Xu, Shuai Wang, Ke Xia

In spite of the absence of a macroscopic magnetic moment, an anti-ferromagnet is spin-polarized on an atomic scale. The electric current passing through a conducting anti-ferromagn…
