摘要
Recently, based on a novel magnetic nanostructure with zero average magnetic field, a spin spatial splitter with a considerable spin-polarized lateral displacement was proposed [Appl. Surf. Sci. 313 (2014) 545]. To further manipulate its spin-polarized behaviour, in this work, we introduce a tunable delta-potential into the device by the atomic layer doping, and calculated its effect on spin-polarized lateral displacement of the electron. Both magnitude and sign of spin polarization are found to be sensitive to the delta-doping. Therefore, such a device can serve as a structurally-controllable spin-polarized source for spintronics applications. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
