Abstract
We demonstrate the method to calculate the spatial distributions of the spin current and accumulation in the multiterminal ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic hybrid structure using an approximate electrotransmission line. The analyses based on the obtained equation yield the results, in good agreement with the experimental ones. This implies that the method allows us to determine the spin diffusion length of an additionally connected electrically floating wire from the reduction of the spin signal.
