Abstract

The problem of electron resonant and non-resonant scatterings on two magnetized barriers is studied in the one-dimension. The transfer-matrix is built up to exactly calculate the coefficient of the electron transmittance through the system of two magnetic barriers with non-collinear magnetizations. The polarization of the transmitted electron wave for resonance and non-resonance transmittances is calculated. The transmittance coefficient and spin polarization can be drastically enhanced and controlled by the angle between the barrier magnetizations.
