The injection of spin polarized electrons from ferromagnetic metals (Fe and Co) into gallium nitride (GaN) via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is demonstrated. Electrons from STM tips are injected into the semiconductor. Net circular…
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…
Although the creation of spin polarization in various non-magnetic media via electrical spin injection from a ferromagnetic tunnel contact has been demonstrated, much of the basic behavior is heavily debated. It is reported here for…
A systematic investigation of spin injection behavior in Au/FM (FM = Fe and Ni) multilayers is performed using the superdiffusive spin transport theory. By exciting the nonmagnetic layer, the laser-induced hot electrons may transfer spin…
A theory of spin-polarized electron transport in ferromagnet/semiconductor heterostructures, based on a unified semiclassical description of ballistic and diffusive transport in semiconductor structures, is developed. The aim is to provide…
We consider electron tunneling from a nonmagnetic $n$-type semiconductor ($n$-S) into a ferromagnet (FM) through a very thin forward-biased Schottky barrier resulting in efficient extraction of electron spin from a thin $n$-S layer near…
A quantum theory of the spin-dependent scattering of semiconductor electrons by a Schottky barrier at an interface with a ferromagnet is presented. The reflection of unpolarized non-equilibrium carriers produces spontaneous…
The rapidly expanding research in Spintronics, the electronics utilizing the electron spin instead of its charge, is driven by the very interesting potential applications. The actual task is to develop principles for the spin manipulations…

We show that the propagation of spin polarized carriers may be dramatically affected by {\em inhomogeneous} electric fields. Surprisingly, the spin diffusion length is found to strongly depend on the sign and magnitude of electric field…

Current understanding of spin injection tells us that a metal ferromagnet can inject spin into a semiconductor with 100% efficiency if either the ferromagnet is an ideal half metal with 100% spin polarization, or there exists a suitable…
