Spin diffusion in theMn2+ion system of II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor heterostructures

Room-temperature ferromagnetism in a II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te.

The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of a Cr-doped II-VI semiconductor ZnTe were investigated. Magnetic circular dichroism measurements showed a strong interaction between the sp carriers and localized d spins, indicating that Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te is a diluted magnetic semiconductor. The Curie temperature of the film with x=0.20 was estimated to be 300+/-10 K, which is the highest value ever r...

Spin filtering and spin separation in diluted magnetic semiconductor hybrid systems

We demonstrate spin-dependent tunneling features of electronic transport in diluted magnetic semiconductor/semiconductor hybrid systems. It is shown that the geometrical asymmetry of the multilayer heterostructure results in the asymmetry of the spin polarization on the external electric field. The degree of the asymmetry can be changed by adjusting the structural configuration and the magnitud...

"Spin Injection and Scattering in Semiconductor Heterostructures"*

Efforts to implement semiconductor-based spintronic devices have been crippled by the lack of an efficient and practical means to electrically inject spin-polarized carriers into a semiconductor heterostructure. Spin injection from semimagnetic semiconductor contacts (ZnMnSe/AlGaAs/GaAs) has produced electron spin polarizations of ~ 85% in the GaAs QW [1]. Several factors potentially limit spin...
