By comparing an analytical solution for spin injection across a ferromagnet–paramagnet junction with a resistor model approach, its essential limitations stemming from inhomogeneous spin populations are clarified.en-USJournal Article2015-12-30Emmanuel I Rashba2016-11-2110.1088/0268-1242/23/11/114015
