We study the effects of local electronic interactions and finite temperatures upon the transmission across the Cu4CoCu4 metallic heterostructure in a combined density functional and dynamical mean field theory. We show that the total transmission at the Fermi level is reduced as the electronic correlations are taken into account via a local but dynamic self-energy, whereby such a reduction is more pronounced in the minority spin channel. Consequently, the spin polarization of the transmission increases. Our results also demonstrate that the enhancement in spin contrast is in mainly driven by interaction rather than finite temperature fluctuations.
