Abstract
Tunnel junction between a metal partially gapped by charge density
waves metal (CDWM) and a ferromagnet (FM) in an external magnetic field
is considered. Only the Zeeman paramagnetic effect is taken into
account. It is shown that the peaks in the dependence of
differential conductance vs. voltage, induced by the CDW gap,
split, each peak having a predominant spin polarization. This
effect makes it possible to electrically measure the polarization
of current carriers in FMs.
