The recently developed model of spin transport in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors [Van Dorpe et al., Phys. Rev. B 72, 205322 (2005)] is employed. The model combines the disorder-free Landauer-B\\\"uttiker formalism with the tight-binding description of the host band structure. The obtained results show how much the spherical 4x4 kp model [Nguyen, Shchelushkin, and Brataas, cond-mat/0601436] overestimates DWR in the adiabatic limit, and reveal the dependence of DWR on the magnetization profile and crystallographic orientation of the wall.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-05-09T12:57:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors", "band structure effects", "intrinsic domain-wall resistance", "spherical 4x4 kp model", "host band structure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
