The dependence of bilinear and biquadratic interlayer coupling on the thickness of magnetic films is analysed for a trilayer structure with specular reflection at the outer surfaces. It is shown that the oscillation periods corresponding to the case where the thickness of one of the two magnetic films is constant, while that of the second one is varied, can be different from the oscillation periods in the case where the thicknesses of both magnetic films vary simultaneously. The nonoscillatory component of the coupling parameter is shown to be weakly dependent on the thickness of the magnetic films.

Basic features of electronic transport in magnetic layered structures consisting of alternating ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic metallic films are analysed theoretically. The considerations are restricted to magnetoresistance originating from the rotation of the film magnetizations from antiparallel to parallel alignment. The influence of spin-dependent potentials on the transport properties is analysed for both current-in-plane and current-perpendicular-to-plane geometries. Quasi-classical and quantum methods are used to calculate the appropriate conductivity. For current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry the periodic spin-dependent effective electron potential plays an important role and can generate giant magnetoresistance also when the electron scattering by impurities and interface roughness is independent of the spin direction, contrary to the case of current-in-plane geometry when a spin-dependent scattering probability is a necessary condition for the giant magnetoresistance to occur.

Charge and spin transport in artificial magnetic structures, like nanopillar spin valves, planar tunnel junctions, and mesoscopic double-barrier junctions (single-electron transistors) are briefly surveyed, with particular emphasis on magnetoresistance effects and current-induced magnetic switching and spin dynamics. The methods of spin current generation are also discussed, particularly the method based on spin Hall effect.

Intrinsic biquadratic interlayer coupling in magnetic layered structures is analysed theoretically within the spin-polarized free-electron approximation. The corresponding coupling parameter oscillates with the interlayer thickness with the oscillation period equal to half of that for bilinear term. An extrinsic mechanism following from a competition between the intra- and interlayer exchange coupling is also discussed.

Kubo formalism is used to calculate the magnetoresistance due to magnetization rotation in a structure consisting of two magnetic films separated by a nonmagnetic layer. In the approximation of a uniform relaxation time for each layer, the oscillatory term in magnetoresistance corresponds to the oscillation period which depends on the potential barriers at the interfaces. This period is longer than the oscillation period observed in the coupling parameter.
EN
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.

Spin-dependent electronic transport through two coupled single-level quantum dots attached to ferromagnetic leads with parallel and antiparallel magnetizations is analyzed theoretically. The intra-dot Coulomb correlation is taken into account, while the inter-dot Coulomb repulsion is omitted. Conductance and tunnel magnetoresistance associated with magnetization rotation are calculated by the nonequilibrium Green function technique. The relevant Green functions are derived by the equation of motion method in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The dot occupation numbers and the Green functions are calculated self-consistently. The interference effects in electronic transport through quantum dots are analyzed in two different configurations. It is shown that the Fano resonance in conductance can be observed even for vanishing inter-dot hopping parameter t. The interplay of the interference effects and the Coulomb interactions in quantum dots is also analyzed.

Spin wave modes in antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled magnetic double layers are analyzed theoretically. The considered structure is assumed to be covered by a nonmagnetic metallic layer. The spin wave frequencies and spin wave life times are determined from the macroscopic description based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, which includes the torque due to spin pumping to the cap layer.

Spin Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas with uniform Dresselhaus and random Rashba spin-orbit interactions is considered theoretically. Using Kubo formalism we derive some analytical formula for the spin Hall conductivity. It is shown that the contribution due to randomly fluctuating Rashba field disappears in the limit of strong Dresselhaus coupling.

We calculate topological contributions to the spin Hall and spin Nernst effects due to intrinsic spin-orbit interaction in a single-layer graphene. To describe electronic spectrum of the graphene we have assumed the k·p model as well as the full tight-binding Hamiltonian. The corresponding contributions to the spin Hall and spin Nernst effects have been determined using the linear response theory and Green function formalism.

Electronic transport in a nanoscopic magnetic tunnel junction with magnetic particles or magnetic impurity atoms/molecules embedded in the barrier is studied theoretically. The impurity Hamiltonian includes magnetic anisotropy of easy axis type with additional perpendicular term. The description takes into account both elastic tunneling processes as well as inelastic processes associated with a flip of electron spin.

General aspects of thermoelectric effects in spin valves consisting of two magnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic spacing layer are considered, with the main focus on the spin Seebeck effects. The Seebeck and spin Seebeck effects are considered in both current-in-plane and current-perpendicular-to-plane geometries. The corresponding thermopower and spin thermopower in the macroscopic limit of electronic transport are also considered. Physical origin of the spin effects is discussed in detail.
EN
Electronic transport in a graphene junction is considered theoretically. Graphene is assumed to be deposited on a substrate which generates Rashba spin-orbit coupling. However, the Rashba parameters in the two parts of the junction are assumed to be generally different. Additionally, different gate voltages are applied to the two parts, which allow tuning the Fermi level and potential step. We analyze the probabilities of electron transmission through the junction and electrical conductance in the linear response regime.

Bias dependence of the tunnel magnetoresistance in simple planar ferromagnetic junctions is considered theoretically within the one-band model. The limit of sequential tunnelling in double junctions with a non-magnetic central electrode is studied as well. In this case tunnel magnetoresistance exists only when the spin relaxation time due to spin-flip scattering processes inside the central electrode is sufficiently long.

Current shot noise in a double junction consisting of a small metallic grain connected to two ferromagnetic electrodes is analysed in the limit of sequential tunneling. We show that, apart from charge fluctuations, there are strong spin fluctuations. We also show that two distinct relaxation processes can be distinguished in the frequency dependent current noise: one in a low frequency range and corresponding to spin fluctuations and another one in a high frequency range corresponding to charge fluctuations.

Nonequilibrium Kondo effect in a quantum dot asymmetrically coupled to two ferromagnetic metallic leads is analyzed theoretically. The nonequilibrium Green function technique is used to calculate density of states and electric current. The lesser and retarded (advanced) Green functions are calculated by the equation of motion method within a consistent approximation scheme. The case where one electrode is half-metallic is analyzed numerically in details.

Thermoelectric effects in spin-polarized transport through a strongly correlated quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic leads is investigated theoretically by means of the finite-U slave boson technique. The dot is coupled to the leads both symmetrically via the spin-conserving tunneling processes and asymmetrically via spin-nonconserving Rashba-induced tunneling terms. The asymmetric coupling leads to various interference effects which modify transport properties. We have analyzed such thermoelectric coefficients like the electronic contribution to heat conductance κ, thermopower S, and thermoelectric efficiency ZT.

Spin Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is analyzed theoretically. We use the Keldysh technique for nonequilibrium processes, modified in order to take into account well-defined splitting of the Fermi surface due to strong spin-orbit coupling. Using such an approach, we reconsider the two-dimensional electron gas with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction and show that impurity scattering processes suppress the spin Hall effect.
