Theory of spintronic materials

The ability to manipulate and understand spin polarized materials is a key to constructing spintronic devices, i.e., devices in which the electron's spin and charge are both utilized. Here we review computational methods for predicting the properties of spin-polarized materials at the macro- and nano-limits, and at interfaces. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
