Abstract

A general analysis of spin-polarized electron transmission through ferromagnetic bilayers is presented. We calculate the transmitted current through two consecutive layers with in-plane magnetizations and we investigate the particular case where these magnetizations are orthogonal. We show that it is possible to obtain a three-dimensional spin detector for low-energy electrons which is compact and performant.
