In traditional optoelectronic approaches, control over spin, charge, and light requires the use of both electrical and magnetic fields. In a spin-polarized light-emitting diode (spin-LED), charges are injected, and circularly polarized light is emitted from spin-polarized carrier pairs. Typically, the injection of carriers occurs with the application of an electric field, whereas spin polarization can be achieved using an applied magnetic field or polarized ferromagnetic contacts. We used chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) to produce spin-polarized carriers and demonstrate a spin-LED that operates at room temperature without magnetic fields or ferromagnetic contacts. The CISS layer consists of oriented, self-assembled small chiral molecules within a layered organic-inorganic metal-halide hybrid semiconductor framework. The spin-LED achieves ±2.6% circularly polarized electroluminescence at room temperature.

We report the room-temperature electroluminescence (EL) with nearly pure circular polarization (CP) from GaAs-based spin-polarized light-emitting diodes (spin-LEDs). External magnetic fields are not used during device operation. There are two small schemes in the tested spin-LEDs: first, the stripe-laser-like structure that helps intensify the EL light at the cleaved side walls below the spin injector Fe slab, and second, the crystalline AlOxspin-tunnel barrier that ensures electrically stable device operation. The purity of CP is depressively low in the low current density (J) region, whereas it increases steeply and reaches close to the pure CP whenJ> 100 A/cm2. There, either right- or left-handed CP component is significantly suppressed depending on the direction of magnetization of the spin injector. Spin-dependent reabsorption, spin-induced birefringence, and optical spin-axis conversion are suggested to account for the observed experimental results.

ABSTRACTIn this work, a room temperature spin-polarized LED based on ferromagnetic Ga1-xGdxN is reported. The device was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and is the first report of a spin-LED based on Ga1-xGdxN. Electroluminescence from this device had a degree of polarization of 14.6% at 5000 Gauss and retained a degree of polarization of 9.3% after removal of the applied magnetic field. Ga1-xGdxN thin films were grown on 2 μm GaN templates and were co-doped with Si and Mg to achieve n-type and p-type materials. Co-doping of the Ga1-xGdxN films with Si produced conductive n-type material, while co-doping with Mg produced compensated p-type material. Both Si and Mg co-doped films exhibited room temperature ferromagnetism, measured by vibrating sample magnetometry.
