We present a semiclassical study of a transport process, the tunneling, in the presence of a magnetic field and a dissipative environment. We have found that the problem can be mapped onto an effective one-dimensional one, and the tunneling rate is strongly affected by the magnetic field, such as a complete suppression by a large parallel magnetic field, an example of the dynamical localization...

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 ...
