Spin-dependent transport in magnetic sandwiches in the effective-mass approximation

A theory describing a spin-dependent transport of electrons through a thin metallic (or insulator) nonmagnetic layer sandwiched between two ferromagnets is developed in the ballistic regime and current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry. The theory is based on the Landauer formalism and the trans...
