Abstract

A spin projection scheme is presented which allows the decomposition of the electric conductivity into two different spin channels within fully relativistic ab initio transport calculations that account for the impact of spin-orbit coupling. This is demonstrated by calculations of the spin-resolved conductivity of Fe1−xCrx and Co1−xPtx disordered alloys on the basis of the corresponding ...
