It depends on the angle between current and magnetization directions identically to the \"spin Hall magnetoresistance\" mechanism caused by a combined action of spin Hall and inverse spin Hall effects. Due to the identical phenomenology it is not obvious whether the magnetoresistance reported by Nakayama et al. is a bulk metal or interface effect. The interfacial Rashba induced magnetoresistance may be distinguished from the bulk metal spin Hall magnetoresistance by its dependence on the metal film thickness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-14T09:07:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.50.Jt", "75.70.Tj", "73.40.-c" ], "keywords": [ "metal film", "ferromagnetic insulators", "intrinsic magnetoresistance", "bulk metal spin hall magnetoresistance", "inverse spin hall effects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.90.161412", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2014, "month": "Oct", "volume": 90, "number": 16, "pages": 161412 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvB..90p1412G" } } }
