TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-polarized relativistic screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method was used for layered systems together with the Kubo-Greenwood formalism and the coherent-potential approximation to describe electrical transport properties of magnetic multilayers.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach based on the Kubo-Greenwood equation is proposed to separate the resistance of the current leads from that of the region whose resistance we wish to calculate for current perpendicular to the plane of the layers.

TL;DR: In this article, the functional dependence of the giant magnetoresistance with respect to the relative angle between the orientations of the magnetization in the magnetic slabs of a trilayer system is calculated by using the Kubo-Greenwood formula for electrical transport together with the fully-relativistic spin- polarized screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method for semi-innite systems and the coherent potential approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) as well as the magneto-resistance (MR) for the current in-plane (CIP) geometry is calculated for Fe/Cr/Fe trilayer systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic anisotropy energy of Fe films, FePd surface alloys, as well as ordered and interdiffused superstructures on Pd(100) and Pd (111) were evaluated using a fully relativistic spin-polarized screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method.
