Description

The Boltzmann kinetic equation is used to analyse the in-plane electronic transport in magnetic multilayers. Both diffuse and electron-momentum-conserving spin-flip scattering processes are included. Numerical results show that the momentum-conserving scattering processes reduce the spin-valve magnetoresistance. (author)
