Spin injection in n-type resonant tunneling diodes

چکیده
We have studied the polarized resolved photoluminescence of n-type GaAs/AlAs/GaAlAs resonant tunneling diodes under magnetic field parallel to the tunnel current. Under resonant tunneling conditions, we have observed two emission lines attributed to neutral (X) and negatively charged excitons (X-). We have observed a voltage-controlled circular polarization degree from the quantum well emission for both lines, with values up to -88% at 15 T at low voltages which are ascribed to an efficient spin injection from the 2D gases formed at the accumulation layers.

Room Temperature Operation of Gasb‐based Resonant Tunneling Diodes by Prewell Injection
We present room temperature resonant tunneling of GaSb/AlAsSb double barrier resonant tunneling diodes with pseudomorphically grown prewell emitter structures comprising the ternary compound semiconductors GaInSb and GaAsSb. At room temperature, resonant tunneling is absent for diode structures without prewell emitters. The incorporation of Ga0.84In0.16Sb and GaAs0.05Sb0.95 prewell emitters lea...
متن کاملElectrical spin injection and detection in lateral all-semiconductor devices
Both electrical injection and detection of spin-polarized electrons are demonstrated in a single wafer allsemiconductor GaAs-based lateral spintronic device, employing p+Ga,Mn As /n+-GaAs ferromagnetic Esaki diodes as spin aligning contacts. Spin-dependent phenomena, such as spin precession and spin-valve effect, are observed in nonlocal signal and the measurements reveal the unusual origin of ...
متن کاملFabrication of Sub-THz Oscillators Using Resonant Tunneling Diodes Integrated with Slot Antennas
We fabricated sub-THz oscillators using resonant tunneling diodes integrated with slot antennas. Oscillations at 90GHz and 136GHz were obtained for the slot antennas with the lengths of 1mm and 800μm. Theoretical calculation shows that the maximum oscillation frequency up to ~1.2THz is expected in this structure with short antenna.
متن کاملReversal of spin polarization in Fe/GaAs (001) driven by resonant surface states: first-principles calculations.
A minority-spin resonant state at the Fe/GaAs(001) interface is predicted to reverse the spin polarization with the voltage bias of electrons transmitted across this interface. Using a Green's function approach within the local spin-density approximation, we calculate the spin-dependent current in a Fe/GaAs/Cu tunnel junction as a function of the applied bias voltage. We find a change in sign o...
متن کاملElectron transport through cubic InGaN/AlGaN resonant tunneling diodes
We theoretically study the electron transport through a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) based on strained AlxGa1−xN/In0.1Ga0.9N/AlxGa1−xN quantumwells embedded in relaxed n-Al0.15Ga0.85N/strained In0.1Ga0.9N emitter and collector. The aluminum composition in both injector and collector contacts is taken relatively weak; this does not preclude achieving a wide band offset at the border of the pre...
