Induced Spin-Currents in Alkali-Films

Materials Science 2009-11-10 v1 Astrophysics Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

In sandwiches of FeK and FeCs the conduction electrons in the alkali metals have a large mean free path. The experiments suggest that the specular reflection for spin up and down electrons is different at the interface yielding a spin current in the alkali film. The spin current is detected by the anomalous Hall effect of Pb surface impurities.
