In this paper, we examine the properties of spin-polarized interfaces consisting of single-molecule magnet bis(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II) (cobaltocene) and two-dimensional magnetic materials, semiconducting CrI$_3$ and metallic…
We have experimentally and theoretically investigated the spin transport in Fe/Mg/MgO/MgAl2O4/n+-Si(001) ferromagnetic tunnel junctions on a Si substrate, by systematically varying the thickness combination of amorphous MgO and MgAl2O4…
We have performed first principles electronic structure calculations to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of Fe/ZnSe(001) interfaces. Calculations involving full geometry optimizations have been carried out for a broad…
Ab-initio calculations have been used to study the influence of the interface morphology and, notably, of the exchange reaction on the electronic properties of Al/GaN (100) interfaces. In particular, the effects of interface structure (i.e.…
Nonequilibrium electron spin polarization is calculated under spin injection from one ferromagnet to another in magnetic junction. It is shown that the nonequilibrium spin polarization can be comparable with equilibrium one if the material…
We investigated spin dependent transport through Fe/GaAs/Fe tunnel junctions. The tunneling magnetoresistance effect (TMR) was probed for different types of Fe/GaAs interfaces. For interfaces cleaned by hydrogen plasma the TMR effect is…
We study the tunneling of conduction electrons through a (110)-oriented single-barrier heterostructure grown from III-V semiconductor compounds. It is shown that, due to low spatial symmetry of such a barrier, the tunneling current through…
We have measured the very low temperature (down to 30 mK) subgap resistance of Titanium Nitride (Superconductor, Tc = 4.6 K)/highly doped Silicon (Semiconductor) SIN junction (the insulating layer stands for the Schottky barrier). As the…
We report direct experimental evidence showing induced magnetic moments on Ge at the interface in an Fe/Ge system. Details of the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and resonant magnetic scattering at the Ge L edge demonstrate the presence…
Spin injection and detection are very sensitive to the interface properties between ferromagnet and semiconductor. Because the interface properties such as a tunneling resistance can be chosen independently between the injection and…
The spin mixing conductance (SMC) is a key quantity determining efficiency of spin transport across interfaces. Thus, knowledge of its precise value is required for accurate measurement of parameters quantifying numerous effects in…
Accurate prediction of Schottky barrier heights (SBHs) at metal-semiconductor (M-SC) interfaces is essential for understanding and optimizing charge injection in electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, first-principles calculations…
We present tight-binding calculations of the spin torque in non-collinear magnetic tunnel junctions based on the non-equilibrium Green functions approach. We have calculated the spin torque via the effective local magnetic moment approach…
Many Heusler compounds are predicted to be ferromagnetic half metals in the bulk, which makes them promising compounds for spintronics. However, for devices the transport spin polarization at specific interfaces requires optimization. We…
Whereas spintronics brings the spin degree of freedom to electronic devices, molecular/organic electronics adds the opportunity to play with the chemical versatility. Here we show how, as a contender to commonly used inorganic materials,…
We measured the low temperature subgap resistance of titanium nitride (superconductor, Tc=4.6K)/highly doped silicon (degenerated semiconductor) SIN junctions, where I stands for the Schottky barrier. At low energies, the subgap conductance…

We reported the first spin potentiometric measurement to electrically detect spin polarization arising from spin-momentum locking in topological insulator (TI) surface states using ferromagnet/tunnel barrier contacts [1]. This method has…
An ensemble Monte Carlo method is used to study the spin injection through a ferromagnet-semiconductor junction where a Schottky barrier is formed. It is shown that the Schottky-barrier-induced electric field which is confined in the…
