The discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect by Grünberg and Fert initiated the field of spintronics, which holds high promise for future devices of high speed and low power consumption by not only utilizing the charge of the electron in an electronic device but also its spin degree of freedom. With the ongoing miniaturization to nano-scale structures, their size becomes eventually smaller than the mean free path of an electron. In this regime an electron is 'ballistically' transmitted through a nanocontact without changing its momentum or its energy due to inelastic scattering processes. The emerging effects, e.g. the quantization of conductance and spin-dependent transport phenomena, are of quantum mechanical nature...
