Current induced spin flip scattering at interfaces in noncollinear magnetic multilayers
Peter M Levy, Jianwei Zhang
We show that when one drives a charge current across noncollinear magnetic layers the two electron Coulomb scattering creates a spin flip potential at interfaces. This scattering i…
The steady state in noncollinear magnetic multilayers
Jianwei Zhang, Peter M Levy
There are at least two different putative steady state solutions for current across noncollinear magnetic multilayers; one has a discontinuity in the spin current at the interface…
Different steady states for spin currents in noncollinear multilayers
Peter M Levy, Jianwei Zhang
We find there are at least two different steady states for transport across noncollinear magnetic multilayers. In the conventional one there is a discontinuity in the spin current…
Identification of transverse spin currents in noncollinear magnetic structures
Jianwei Zhang, Peter M Levy, Shufeng Zhang +1
We show that the transverse components of spin current in a ferromagnet is linked to an off diagonal spin component of the transmission matrix at interfaces;it has little to do wit…
