摘要
In this paper, we theoretically investigate how to control spin filtering via a delta-doping for electrons in a magnetically and electrically modulated semiconductor nanostructure (MEMSN), which can be realized by patterning a ferromagnetic (FM) stripe and a Schottky-metal (SM) stripe on top and bottom of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterostructure in experiments, respectively. A considerable spin filtering effect still exists because of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), even if a delta-doping is included. Moreover, spin polarization ratio can be manipulated by delta-doping, which may lead to a structurally-controllable electron-spin filter for semiconductor spintronics.
