Spin Polarization

Spin polarization is a quantum mechanical property that quantifies the imbalance between spin-up and spin-down electron populations in a material, serving as a fundamental metric to characterize the degree of spin asymmetry in electronic structure relevant to spintronic materials and spin dynamics.
