Abstract

We formulate a theory of spin dependent transport of an electronic circuit involving ferromagnetic elements with non-collinear magnetizations which is based on the conservation of spin and charge current. The theory considerably simplifies the calculation of the transport properties of complicated ferromagnet-normal metal systems. We illustrate the theory by considering a novel three terminal device. ; Comment: revised paper, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Lett
