Paramagnetic ion-doped nanocrystal as a voltage-controlled spin filter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A theory of spin injection from a ferromagnetic source into a semiconductor through a paramagnetic ion-doped nanocrystal is developed. Spin-polarized current from the source polarizes the ion; the polarized ion, in turn, controls the spin polarization of the current flowing through the nanocrystal. Depending on voltage, the ion can either enhance the injection coefficient by several times or suppress it. Large ion spins produce stronger enhancement of spin injection.

Tunable magnetic exchange interactions in manganese-doped inverted core-shell ZnSe-CdSe nanocrystals.
Magnetic doping of semiconductor nanostructures is actively pursued for applications in magnetic memory and spin-based electronics. Central to these efforts is a drive to control the interaction strength between carriers (electrons and holes) and the embedded magnetic atoms. In this respect, colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures provide great flexibility through growth-controlled 'engineering'...
متن کاملSingle DV-DXCCII Based Voltage Controlled First Order All-pass Filter with Inverting and Non-inverting responses
In this paper, a new voltage controlled first order all-pass filter is presented. The proposed circuit employs a single differential voltage dual-X second generation current conveyor (DV-DXCCII) and a grounded capacitor only. The proposed all-pass filter provides both inverting and non inverting voltage-mode outputs from the same configuration simultaneously without any matching condition. Non-...
متن کاملMagnetic susceptibilities of diluted magnetic semiconductors and anomalous Hall-voltage noise
The carrier-spin and impurity-spin densities in diluted magnetic semiconductors are considered using a semiclassical approach. Equations of motions for the spin densities and the carrier-spin current density in the paramagnetic phase are derived, exhibiting their coupled diffusive dynamics. The dynamical spin susceptibilities are obtained from these equations. The theory holds for p-type and n-...
متن کاملExciton–erbium interactions in Si nanocrystal-doped SiO2
The presence of silicon nanocrystals in Er doped SiO2 can enhance the effective Er optical absorption cross section by several orders of magnitude due to a strong coupling between quantum confined excitons and Er. This article studies the fundamental processes that determine the potential of Si nanocrystals as sensitizers for use in Er doped waveguide amplifiers or lasers. Silicon nanocrystals ...
متن کاملMultifunctional ScF3:Ln3+ (Ln = Tb, Eu, Yb, Er, Tm and Ho) nano/microcrystals: hydrothermal/solvothermal synthesis, electronic structure, magnetism and tunable luminescence properties.
A facile, hydrothermal/solvothermal route has been developed to synthesize a series of multifunctional lanthanide ion (Tb(3+), Eu(3+), Yb(3+), Tm(3+), Er(3+) and Ho(3+))-activated ScF3 nanocrystals. The morphology and size of ScF3 can be tuned in a controlled manner by altering the additives and volume ratios of H2O : EtOH in the initial solution. Under ultraviolet (UV), vacuum ultraviolet (VUV...
