Abstract: | The 2D scattering problem of an electron by a magnetized nanoparticle is solved in the Born approximation with account of the dipole-dipole interaction of the magnetic moments of electron and nanomagnet. The scattering amplitudes in this problem are the two-component spinors. They are obtained as functions of the electron spin orientation, the electron energy and show anisotropy in scattering angle. The initially polarized beam of electrons scattered by the nanomagnet consists of electrons with no spin flipped and spin flipped. The majority of electrons with no spin flipped are scattered by small angles. The majority electrons with spin flipped are scattered in the vicinity of the scattering angles π/2 and 3π/2. This can be used as one more method of controlling the spin currents. |
