Spin-flip hot spots in ultrathin films of monovalent metals: Enhancement and anisotropy of the Elliott-Yafet parameter
Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, Swantje Heers +3
In contrast to the long-known fact that spin-flip hot spots, i.e., special \vc{k}-points on the Fermi surface showing a high spin-mixing parameter, do not occur in the bulk of mono…

Spin relaxation and the Elliott-Yafet parameter in W(001) ultrathin films: surface states, anisotropy and oscillation effects
Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, Bernd Zimmermann +4
Using first-principles methods based on density-functional theory we investigate the spin relaxation in W(001) ultrathin films. Within the framework of the Elliott-Yafet theory we…
