TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how ab initio cluster calculations including the full Coulomb vertex can be done in the basis of localized Wannier orbitals which describe the low-energy density functional (local-density approximation) band structure of an infinite crystal, e.g., the transition-metal $3d$ and oxygen $2p$ orbitals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin filtering properties of spin-injection interfaces between transition metals and semiconductors have been investigated and it was shown that spin filtering is quite insensitive to amounts of interface roughness and disorder.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a more compact expression for the transmission matrix elements, and showed how all the Green's function results can be derived from the mode-matching technique.

TL;DR: Wave function matching (WFM) as mentioned in this paper is a transparent technique for calculating transmission and reflection matrices for any Hamiltonian that can be represented in tight-binding form, such as a localized orbital basis or on a real space grid.

TL;DR: The long-time response of the system is found to be governed by the first tens of picoseconds in which the excited plasma interacts strongly with the intrinsic interface between the semiconductor and the ferromagnet in spite of the existence of a Schottky barrier in equilibrium.
