Effect of Impurities and Effective Masses on Spin-Dependent Electrical Transport in Ferromagnet-Normal Metal-Ferromagnet Hybrid Junctions

The effect of nonmagnetic impurities and the effective masses on the spin-dependent transport in a ferromagnet-normal metal-ferromagnet junction is investigated on the basis of a two-band model. Our results show that impurities and the effective masses of electrons in two ferromagnetic electrodes have remarkable effects on the behaviors of the conductance, namely, both affect the oscillating amplitudes, periods, as well as the positions of the resonant peaks of the conductance considerably. The impurity tends to suppress the amplitudes of the conductance, and makes the spin-valve effect less obvious, but under certain conditions the phenomenon of the so-called impurity-induced resonant tunneling is clearly observed. The impurity and the effective mass both can lead to nonmonotonous oscillation of the junction magnetoresistance (JMR) with the incident energy and the thickness of the normal metal. It is also observed that a smaller difference of the effective masses of electrons in two ferromagnetic electrodes would give rise to a larger amplitude of the JMR.Comment: Revtex, 10 figure

Analysis of the strong vertices of ΣcND∗\Sigma_cND^{*} and ΣbNB∗\Sigma_bNB^{*} in QCD sum rules

The strong coupling constant is an important parameter which can help us to understand the strong decay behaviors of baryons. In our previous work, we have analyzed strong vertices $\Sigma_{c}^{*}ND$, $\Sigma_{b}^{*}NB$, $\Sigma_{c}ND$, $\Sigma_{b}NB$ in QCD sum rules. Following these work, we further analyze the strong vertices $\Sigma_{c}ND^{*}$ and $\Sigma_{b}NB^{*}$ using the three-point QCD sum rules under Dirac structures $q\!\!\!/p\!\!\!/\gamma_{\alpha}$ and $q\!\!\!/p\!\!\!/p_{\alpha}$. In this work, we first calculate strong form factors considering contributions of the perturbative part and the condensate terms $\langle\overline{q}q\rangle$, $\langle\frac{\alpha_{s}}{\pi}GG\rangle$ and $\langle\overline{q}g_{s}\sigma Gq\rangle$. Then, these form factors are used to fit into analytical functions. According to these functions, we finally determine the values of the strong coupling constants for these two vertices $\Sigma_{c}ND^{*}$ and $\Sigma_{b}NB^{*}$.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.0322
