摘要
We have succeeded in injection of spin-polarized electrons from Fe thin film into InAs. Fe thin film was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on InAs(100) substrate at 23 degreesC. The Fe/InAs hybrid structure showed decent magnetic and electronic property. The spin polarization of injected electrons was estimated from the polarization of electroluminesce. 3.6 similar to 4.1% of polarization of the luminescence was obtained. Present result of the highest spin injection efficiency to date indicates that the present ferromagnet/InAs hybrid system is promising for spintronics applications.
