【 摘 要 】

In this review, we outline the important results on the resistivity encountered by an electron in magnetically ordered materials. The mechanism of the collision between the electron and the lattice spins is shown. Experiments on the spin resistivity in various magnetic materials as well as the theoretical background are recalled. We focus on our works of 15 years of principally using Monte Carlo simulations. In these works, we have studied the spin resistivity in various kinds of magnetic systems ranging from ferromagnets and antiferromagnets to frustrated spin systems. It is found that the spin resistivity shows a broad peak at the transition temperature in systems with a second-order phase transition, while it undergoes a discontinuous jump at the transition temperature of a first-order transition. New results on the hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) antiferromagnet are also shown in extended detail for the Ising case in both the frustrated and non-frustrated parameter regions.
