Abstracts

EN

The complex spin-mixing conductance of epitaxial Cu/Ni/Cu(100) systems is predicted to oscillate as a function of Ni thickness. The oscillation period is explained in terms of spin-resolved Fermi surface properties of bulk nickel. Stability of the oscillations with respect to interface Cu-Ni interdiffusion and to alloying in the Ni film is investigated as well.
