5 Two current model (Mott 193) for transport in magnetic metals As long as spin-flip is negligible, current can be considered as carried in parallel by two categories of electrons: spin and spin (parallel and antiparallel to quantization axis) Sources of spin flip: magnons and spin-orbit scattering Negligible spin-flip often crude approximation (spin diffusion length in NiFe~4.5nm, 3% spin memory loss at Co/Cu interfaces)
6 Spin dependent transport in magnetic metals (1) Band structure of 3d transition metals In transition metals, partially filled bands which participate to conduction are s and d bands Non-magnetic Cu : Magnetic Ni : E E s (E) s (E) s (E) s (E) D (E) D (E) D (E) D (E) E E D (EF) D (EF) D (EF) = D (EF) Most of transport properties are determined by DOS at Fermi energy Spin-dependent density of state at Fermi energy

To obtain the GMR, G1 is calculated in parallel and antiparallel configurations. In AP configuration,, R, T and, R, T are inverted in every other layer. CIP GMR comes from second order effect in conductivity (in contrast to CPP GMR) Characteristic lengths in CIP GMR are the elastic mean-free paths

28 Conclusion on CIP GMR : CIP GMR well modeled by semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Local conductivity can only vary on length scale of the order of the elastic mean free path. Quantum mechanical theory of CIP transport were proposed to properly take into account the quantum confinement/reflection/refraction effects induced by lattice potential modulation. Predictions of oscillations in conductivity and GMR versus thickness but hardly seen in experiments due to interfacial roughness CIP GMR amplitude up to 2% in specular spin-valves. Spin-valves were used in MR heads of hard disk drives from 1998 to 24. Later on, they were replaced by Tunnel MR heads.

49 Conclusion on CPP transport -Serial resistance model can be used at lowest order of approximation to describe CPP transport. However, does not take into account spin-flip. -With spin-flip, spin accumulation and spin-relaxation play an important role in CPP transport. -Semi-classical theory of transport describes CPP transport fairly well. CPP macroscopic transport properties (R, R/R) can be calculated from microscopic transport parameters (, lsf, r ) -In complex geometry, charge and spin current can have very different behavior. Two contributions to j : drift along electrical field and diffusion along gradient of spin accumulation.
