Magnetic Interactions and Spin Transport [E-Book] / edited by Almadena Chtchelkanova, Stuart Wolf, Yves Idzerda.
Stuart Wolf This book originated as a series of lectures that were given as part of a Summer School on Spintronics in the end of August, 1998 at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. It has taken some time to get these lectures in a form suitable for this book and so the process has been an iterative one to provide c...
