Abstract
|
We have investigated the influence of spin accumulation on the domain wall resistance in the presence of the Rashba and the Dresselhaus spin–orbit interactions. In this order, we have employed a quantum kinetic model based on the Wigner distribution function formalism. Using the single-electron Hamiltonian and following the approach of Šimánek and Rebei (Phys. Rev. B 71:172405, 2005), we derive the coupled differential equations for transverse spin accumulation components and then calculate its contribution to the resistance of a domain wall. The results show that both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus spin–orbit interactions enhance the transverse spin accumulation and consequently increase the domain wall resistance.
