Notes:
Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and spin-dependent tunneling may be used to make magnetic random access memory devices. We have applied first-principles based electronic structure techniques to understand these effects and in the case of GMR to model the transport properties of the devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
