Spin resistivity $R$ has been shown to result mainly from the scattering of itinerant spins with magnetic impurities and lattice spins. $R$ is proportional to the spin-spin correlation so that its behavior is very complicated near and at…

In a spin field effect transistor, a magnetic field is inevitably present in the channel because of the ferromagnetic source and drain contacts. This field causes random unwanted spin precession when carriers interact with non-magnetic…
