Abstract
In the emerging field of Spintronics the transport of hot electrons through magnetic thin films seems destined to play a key role. To help understand such transport, we have used ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) to measure hot-electron transport across magnetic-metal multilayer/semiconductor structures.
