Abstract:
By making a straightforward reformulation of the Levy-Zhang spin-mistracking model, we show that it is possible to extract the spin asymmetry of a current from measurements of domain wall resistance. Experiments on epitaxial films of L1(0) FePd are reported, showing that, while the micromagnetic structure of the sample is stable, the resistivity and the domain wall resistance change by a factor approximately 3 between helium and room temperature. The temperature dependence of the spin asymmetry of the current has been determined over a wide range in a single material.

Magnetic Force Between Two Parallel Currents
The force exerted by the magnetic field due to the first conductor over a finite length of the second conductor is given as the product of the current in the second conductor and the vector product of the length vector along the current element and the field due to the first conductor. According to the...

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
