zeichnung ist schön FALSCH(spins vertauscht!!!) WRONG PAINTING!!!! SPINS ARE TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.195.19.245 (talk • contribs)

Can you explain, what exactly is wrong? --Alex-engraver (talk) 13:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Please correct the spin alignments

As the user previously stated: The spins are totally wrong! In general electrons with the same spin as the layer have a larger mean free path (are therefore less scattered) as electrons with opposite spins. The graphic illustrates the exact opposite thing!

Spins wrong

The spin scattering is wrong. on the parallel (left) set up, the spin up electrons wont get scattered at all. so the path has to be like the path from the spin down electrons. Furthermore the scattering only takes place at the intersection between FM and NM (blue to orange and orange to blue). You indicated a scattering in the FM is correct. The picture you previously uploaded (16:39, 14 November 2009) was correct in terms of scattering at the interface. Add the reflektion of the Spins in the FM there and upload the picture. Please correct this ASAP, because a lot of people will google this effect Of course you have to switch the resistors too
