Spin accumulation is a crucial but imprecise concept in spintronics. In metal-based spintronics it is characterized in terms of semiclassical distribution functions. In semiconductors with a strong spin-orbit coupling the spin accumulation…
Several recent studies have shown that SCAN, a functional belonging to the meta-generalized gradient approximation (MGGA) family, leads to significantly overestimated magnetic moments in itinerant ferromagnetic metals. However, this…
