Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently these were considered separately. In
classical electronics, charges are moved by electric fields to transmit information and are …

The scaling of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) for data storing
and logic circuit operation has reached a critical point, beyond which further scaling poses …

By starting with the Boltzmann equation, we calculate the transport properties of magnetic
multilayers for currents perpendicular to the layers. Our model takes into account both …

Two complementary effects modify the GHz magnetization dynamics of nanoscale
heterostructures of ferromagnetic and normal materials relative to those of the isolated …

Some of the most relevant finite-size and surface effects in the magnetic and transport
properties of magnetic fine particles and granular solids are reviewed. The stability of the …

Abstract Hirsch [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1834 (1999)] recently proposed a spin Hall effect based
on the anomalous scattering mechanism in the absence of spin-flip scattering. Since the …

In magnetoresistance (MR) studies of magnetic multilayers composed of combinations of
ferromagnetic (F) and non-magnetic (N) metals, the magnetic moment (or related'spin') of …

We review recent developments in the research on magnetic nanowires electrodeposited
into pores of membranes. Typical nanowires fabricated by this method have a diameter in …

The fabrication methods and physical properties of ordered magnetic nanostructures with
dimensions on the submicron to nanometer scale are reviewed. First, various types of …

A comprehensive review of giant magnetoresistance in spin-valve sandwiches and
multilayers is presented, highlighting the experimental and theoretical results which are of …
