摘要
We demonstrate fully epitaxial growth of Fe(3)O(4)/GaAs(001) heterostructures using a reactive molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The Fe(3)O(4) film was obtained by oxidizing an ultrathin Fe layer into an Fe(3)O(4) seed layer in an O(2) atmosphere at 260 degrees C, followed by the reactive MBE growth of Fe(3)O(4). The Fe(3)O(4) seed layer effectively works as a template for the successive growth of Fe(3)O(4). Also, a clear spin filtering effect of optically spin oriented electrons at the Fe(3)O(4)/GaAs(001) interface is shown at room temperature. The results clearly demonstrate that the spin filtering effect occurs at the Fe(3)O(4)/GaAs(001) interface and has its origin in the spin split density of states of the Fe(3)O(4) layer.
