A researcher whose work with <Alain Schuhl> explains <giant magnetoresistance> through spin-dependent conduction in magnetic multilayers. In the <Mott two-current model>, the two <electron spin> channels can carry <electric current> with different resistances. Changing the relative magnetization directions of adjacent layers changes how strongly each channel is scattered. Their treatment connects microscopic scattering with a measurable resistance change and makes explicit the assumptions needed to treat the spin channels independently.<Spin dependent transport: GMR & TMR by Alain Schuhl and Daniel Lacour>[§§2.1–2.2: two-current model, spin-channel scattering and parallel/antiparallel multilayers]{ref}
