Spin transport in magnetically ordered systems: effect of the lattice relaxation time
Spin resistivity $R$ has been shown to result mainly from the scattering of itinerant spins with magnetic impurities and lattice spins. $R$ is proportional to the spin-spin correlation so that its behavior is very complicated near and at the magnetic phase transition of the lattice spins. For the time being there are m...
