Abstract: The spin flux matching conditions that should be satisfied at the boundaries between contacting layers of a magnetic junction to ensure the inverse population of spin subbands at experimentally achievable current densities of −107–108 A/cm2 are determined. The essence of the conditions is that an efficient spin injection takes place at the input boundary, whereas the injection at the output boundary is blocked. The fulfillment of the matching conditions for contacting layers with antiparallel magnetization orientations leads to stability in magnetic fluctuations for any forward currents.
