Description

Electron tunneling into ferromagnetic metals is investigated experimentally and theoretically. A large conductance dip centered at the origin is observed for Fe, but for Ni, a smaller dip at the origin appears to be superimposed on a broad peak near the origin. These features may be explained as superimposed elastic and inelastic tunneling effects due to spin waves. (orig.)
