Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures

Spin-dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures have received much attention both from the academic and a technological points of view. Ferromagnetic tunnel junctions, made of ferromagnetic metal electrodes and a very thin insulating barrier between them, also also hold a great deal of current interest. Edited by two of the world's leading authorities, Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures introduces and explains the basic physics and applications of a variety of spin-dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures, with particular emphasis on magnetic multilayers and magnetic tunnel junctions.
