The nonlocal real-space Kubo approach to electron transport in magnetic multilayers is applied to a new geometry, "oblique transport,'' whose complexity is traced back to a combination of the layering, of the nonlocal character of the linear response, and of the oblique direction transport in this new geometry. The problem is dealt with by applying a condition on the average current density vector or on the average electric-field vector, depending upon the external driving conditions. Its solution exhibits a characteristic anisotropy and it yields the global oblique conductance and magnetoresistance as simple trigonometric expressions in terms of the in-plane and vertical conductances and magnetoresistances, for arbitrary noncollinear-magnetization configurations. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
