The ability to manipulate and understand spin polarized materials is a key to constructing spintronic devices, i.e., devices in which the electron's spin and charge are both utilized. Here we review computational methods for predicting the properties of spin‐polarized materials at the macro‐ and nano‐limits, and at interfaces. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
