Localization corrections to charge and spin conductivity in ferromagnetic layered structures

Localization corrections to charge and spin conductivity of two-dimensional ferromagnetic systems with spin–orbit interaction are studied theoretically. The corrections lead to negative magnetoresistance — also in the presence of spin–orbit scattering. Magnitude of the corrections depends on the magnetization orientation with respect to the plane of the system. The corrections to spin conductivity are shown to be small.
