摘要
We experimentally demonstrate that the ohmic contact of a Ni-Fe wire additionally connected to a Cu strip between an injector and detector in a nonlocal spin-valve structure signicantly suppresses the spin polarization induced in the Cu strip. This behavior is attributable to spin current absorption into the connected additional Ni-Fe wire. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
