Different mechanisms of spin-dependent tunneling are analyzed with respect to their role in tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). Microscopic calculation within a realistic model shows that direct tunneling in iron group systems leads to about a…
Relaxation of the Larmor magnetic moment by spin-exchange collisions has been shown to diminish for high alkali densities, resulting from the linear part of the collisional interaction. In contrast, we demonstrate both experimentally and…
Electron spin oriented along an external magnetic field is subject to longitudinal spin relaxation with characteristic time $T_1$. The corresponding decay is nonoscillating, so one cannot readily ascribe $T_1$ to a certain $g$ factor. This…
