The Ebers-Moll model for magnetic bipolar transistors

The equivalent electrical circuit of the Ebers–Moll-type is introduced for magnetic bipolar transistors. In addition to conventional diodes and current sources, the new circuit comprises two novel elements due to spin-charge coupling. A classification scheme of the operating modes of magnetic bipolar transistors in the low bias regime is presented.
