摘要
Based on anisomerous double delta-magnetic-barrier nanostructure, an electron-spin filter can be formed [M.W. Lu, Appl. Surf. Sci. 252 (2005) 1747]. To structurally manipulate the spin polarization in spin filter, we dope a tunable delta-potential into the device by using modern material growth techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy. It is shown that the degree of electron-spin polarization depends greatly on the height and/or position of the delta-doping. Thus, the device can be used as a tunable spin-polarized source by the delta-doping. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
