Let D=t1​+t2​, a=t1​ρL​+t2​ρN​ and b=t1​ρH​+t2​ρN​. A square of four layers has total thickness 2D. For parallel moments its channel sheet resistances are a/(2D2) and b/(2D2); for antiparallel moments both are (a+b)/(4D2). Adding parallel spin conductances gives the title. The factor of four-layer thickness is essential; changing the normalization changes the prefactors. The nonmagnetic bulk resistivity would be ρN​/2 when ρN​ is this model's per-spin value.
