摘要: We study theoretically the spin transport in a nonmagnetic metal connected to ferromagnetic injector and detector electrodes. derive general expression for accumulation signal which covers from metallic tunneling regime. This enables us discuss recent controversy on injection detection experiments. Extending result superconducting device, we find that is strongly enhanced by opening of gap since gapped superconductor low carrier system but not charge. The enhancement also expected semiconductor devices.
