摘要
We review several topics in the field of spin electronics: (i) giant magnetoresistance observed in magnetic multilayers; (ii) magnetization reversal by spin injection and (iii) spin-polarized tunneling in magnetic tunnel junctions combining electrodes of ferromagnetic transition metal and half-metallic oxide.
