摘要：

Injection of spin polarized electrons from a metal into a semiconductor is demonstrated for a GaAs/(In,Ga)As light emitting diode covered with Fe. The circular polarization degree of the observed electroluminescence reveals a spin injection efficiency of 2%. The underlying injection mechanism is explained in terms of a tunneling process.
