the dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3he such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. the lennard-jones potential has been used in our calculations. it has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greater ef...

in this article, the second quantization method has been used to investigate some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized metallic nanowire in the presence of magnetic field at zero temperature. we have been observed that in different magnetic field, the equilibrium energy of system increases as the density increases. the spin-polarization parameter corresponding to the equilibrium state of ...

Introduction Current traveling through a material can have a spin polarization; that is, there can exist more electrons in a current with spin up than spin down or vice versa. It has been discovered that a conducting or semiconducting material can be “injected” with a spinpolarized current. Passing a current through a ferromagnetic material can induce this spin-polarization, which remains as th...

Spin polarization is an unusually ambiguous scientific idiom and, as such, is rarely well defined. A given experimental methodology may allow one to quantify a spin polarization but only in its particular context. As one might expect, these ambiguities sometimes give rise to inappropriate interpretations when comparing the spin polarizations determined through different methods. The spin polari...

We present a detailed description of spin injection and detection in Fe/AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterostructures for temperatures from 2 to 295 K. Measurements of the steady-state spin polarization in the semiconductor indicate three temperature regimes for spin transport and relaxation. At temperatures below 70 K, spinpolarized electrons injected into quantum well structures form excitons, and the spi...

Electric-field control of spin-dependent properties has become one of the most attractive phenomena in modern materials research due to the promise of new device functionalities. One of the paradigms in this approach is to electrically toggle the spin polarization of carriers injected into a semiconductor using ferroelectric polarization as a control parameter. Using first-principles density-fu...

LaBella et al. (1) claimed 92% spin polarization for electrons injected into gallium arsenide [GaAs(110)] from a Ni scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip, which, they asserted, emitted 100% spin-polarized electrons. Such a claim, if substantiated, would constitute a development of great importance for the emerging field of spintronics: It would suggest that the field is rapidly closing in on ...

Probing absolute values of spin polarization at the nanoscale offers insight into the fundamental mechanisms of spin-dependent transport. Employing the Zeeman splitting in superconducting tips (Meservey-Tedrow-Fulde effect), we introduce a novel spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy that combines the probing capability of the absolute values of spin polarization with precise control at t...
