We report on spin injection experiments at a Co/Al$_2$O$_3$/GaAs interface with electrical detection. The application of a transverse magnetic field induces a large voltage drop $\Delta V$ at the interface as high as 1.2mV for a current…
The ballistic spin-filter effect from a ferromagnetic metal into a semiconductor has theoretically been studied with an intention of detecting the spin polarizability of density of states in FM layer at a higher energy level. The physical…
The effective spin-mixing conductance (G_eff) of a heavy metal/ferromagnet (HM/FM) interface characterizes the efficiency of the interfacial spin transport.Accurately determining G_eff is critical to the quantitative understanding of…
Recently, the EuS/InAs interface has attracted attention for the possibility of inducing magnetic exchange correlations in a strong spin-orbit semiconductor, which could be useful for topological quantum devices. We use density functional…
We present a consistent microscopic study of spin pumping effects for both metallic and insulating ferromagnets. As for metallic case, we present a simple quantum mechanical picture of the effect as due to the electron spin flip as a result…
We analyze intermittence and roughening of an elastic interface or domain wall pinned in a periodic potential, in the presence of random-bond disorder in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions. Though the ensemble average behavior is smooth, the…
We report on nonlocal transport in superconductor hybrid structures, with ferromagnetic as well as normal-metal tunnel junctions attached to the superconductor. In the presence of a strong Zeeman splitting of the density of states, both…
Spin injection efficiency based on conventional ferromagnet (or half-metallic ferromagnet) /semiconductor is greatly limited by the Schmidt obstacle due to conductivity mismatch, here we proposed that by replacing the metallic injectors…
We have calculated the spin-polarization effects of a current in a two dimensional electron gas which is contacted by two ferromagnetic metals. In the purely diffusive regime, the current may indeed be spin-polarized. However, for a typical…
We present measurements of thermal and electrical spin injection in nanoscale metallic non-local spin valve (NLSV) structures. Informed by measurements of the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity of representative films made using a…
Understanding how a spin current flows across metal-semiconductor interfaces at pico- and femtosecond timescales has implications for ultrafast spintronics, data processing and storage applications. However, the possibility to directly…
We investigate the mutual proximity effect in a normal metal contacted to a superconductor through a magnetic interface. Analytical and self-consistent numerical results are presented, and we consider both the diffusive and ballistic…
Spin transmission at ferromagnet/heavy metal interfaces is of vital importance for many spintronic devices. Usually the spin current transmission is limited by the spin mixing conductance and loss mechanisms such as spin memory loss. In…
Semiconductor spin qubits may show significant device-to-device variability in the presence of spin-orbit coupling mechanisms. Interface roughness, charge traps, layout or process inhomogeneities indeed shape the real space wave functions,…
We consider an Ising model on a square grid with ferromagnetic spin-spin interactions spanning beyond nearest neighbors. Starting from initial states with a single unbounded interface separating ordered phases, we investigate the evolution…
New mechanism of magnetoresistance, based on tunneling-emission of spin polarized electrons from ferromagnets (FM) into semiconductors (S) and precession of electron spin in the semiconductor layer under external magnetic field, is…

We present a theory of the imprinting of the electron spin coherence and population in an n-doped semiconductor which forms a junction with a ferromagnet. The reflection of non-equilibrium semiconductor electrons at the interface provides a…
