Abstract

The nonlocal real‐space Kubo approach to electron transport in magnetic multilayers is applied to a new geometry, ‘‘oblique transport,’’ whose complexity is traced back to a combination of the layering, of the nonlocal character of the linear response, and of the oblique direction transport in this new geometry. The problem is dealt with by applying a condition on the average current density vector or on the average electric‐field vector, depending upon the external driving conditions. Its solution exhibits a characteristic anisotropy and it yields the global oblique conductance and magnetoresistance as simple trigonometric expressions in terms of the in‐plane and vertical conductances and magnetoresistances, for arbitrary noncollinear‐magnetization configurations.
