Spin-dependent transmission of holes through periodically modulated diluted magnetic semiconductor waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study spin transport of holes through stubless or stubbed waveguides modulated periodically by diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) sections of width b1. Injected holes of up (down) spin feel a periodically modulated barrier (well) potential in the DMS sections and have different transmission (T ) coefficients. T oscillates with b1 for spin-down and decreases fast for spin-up holes while the relative polarization Pr depends nearly periodically on the stub height. Using asymmetric stubs leads to a nearly square-wave pattern in T and to wide plateaus in Pr. T oscillates with the length between the DMS sections. With two DMS sections per unit, T shows periodically wide gaps for spin-down holes when a DMS width is varied. The results can be used to create efficient spin filters.

This paper shows the scattering mechanism at diluted magneticsemiconductors. The doped magnetic atom produces a scattering potential due to becoupled of itinerant carrier spin of host material with magnetic momentum of the dopedmagnetic atom. Formulas of scattering event were rewritten by the plane waveexpansion and then the electron mobility of DMS was calculated. Calculations showKondo effect...

Ballistic spin polarized transport through diluted magnetic semiconductor single and double barrier structures is investigated theoretically using a two-component model. The tunneling magnetoresistance ~TMR! of the system exhibits oscillating behavior when the magnetic field is varied. An interesting beat pattern in the TMR and spin polarization is found for different nonmagnetic semiconductor/...
متن کاملSpin transport through GaAs/GaMnAs/GaAs
This work addresses spin-dependent transport in the heterostructure p-GaAs/GaMnAs/p-GaAs. The diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs layer behaves, within mean field approximation, as a potential well for spin-down carriers and a potential barrier for spin-up ones. Thus the transport would be spin-dependent. The goal of this work is to devise spin filters relevant for spin-dependent optoele...

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...
متن کاملSpin-current modulation and square-wave transmission through periodically stubbed electron waveguides
Ballistic spin transport through waveguides, with symmetric or asymmetric double stubs attached to them periodically, is studied systematically in the presence of a weak spin-orbit coupling that makes the electrons precess. By an appropriate choice of the waveguide length and of the stub parameters injected spin-polarized electrons can be blocked completely and the transmission shows a periodic...
