We present a theoretical study of spin-dependent transport through a ferromagnetic domain wall. With an increase of the number of components of the exchange coupling, we have observed that the variance of the conductance becomes half. As…

Spin-transfer torques occur in magnetic heterostructures because the transverse component of a spin current that flows from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet is absorbed at the interface. We demonstrate this fact explicitly using free…

Whereas spintronics brings the spin degree of freedom to electronic devices, molecular/organic electronics adds the opportunity to play with the chemical versatility. Here we show how, as a contender to commonly used inorganic materials,…

Spin torques in magnetic multilayers are produced by spin polarization $P$ of ferromagnetic (F) layers, and increase with growing $P$. The latter, however, cannot exceed the $P=1$ value found in half metals. We study the $P=1$ case to find…
