Residual resistivity of concentrated ferromagnetic disordered alloys

TLDR
In this article, a theory of the residual electrical resistance of disordered alloys is presented in the framework of the coherent-potential approximation, which can be applied to calculate the concentration dependence of magnetization, spin-up and spin-down resistivities, and spontaneous resistivity anisotropy of ferromagnetic alloys.
Abstract
A theory of the residual electrical resistance of ferromagnetic disordered alloys is presented in the framework of the coherent-potential approximation. It generalizes a previous calculation made for a two-band model Hamiltonian relevant for transition-metal-based alloys. This formalism can be applied to calculate the concentration dependence of magnetization, spin-up and spin-down resistivities, and spontaneous resistivity anisotropy of ferromagnetic alloys. These quantities are computed for a simple model of NiCu and are found to be in good agreement with observation.

Temperature-induced crossover between 0 and π states in S/F/S junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified spectrum of Andreev bound states shifted by the exchange energy was used to explain the supercurrent in Ferromagnetic Josephson junctions, and a simplified expression for the spectral supercurrent density was calculated and the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the critical current was discussed.

Quantum effects in the giant magnetoresistance of magnetic multilayered structures

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical quantum statistical theory of giant magnetoresistance in magnetic multilayers (current flowing in the plane of the layers) which takes into account both spindependent scattering of conduction electrons (s, d or hybridized sd electrons) and spin-dependent potential barriers between successive layers is presented.
