Abstract
We solve the diffusion equation in the normal metal of ferromagnet-normal m etal-ferromagnet (F-N-F) systems with non-collinear magnetizations. It is s hown that the total conductance of the system in the presence of a magnetic field can be asymmetric with respect to time reversal. This asymmetry is a ssociated with precession processes described by the imaginary part of the recently introduced mixing conductance. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
