Spin Filtering

In this paper, large spin polarization and magnetoconductance in a ferromagnet (FM)/ferromagnetic insulator (FI)/two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG)/non-magnetic insulator (I)/FM hybrid structure are theoretically predicted by introducing a spin-filtering injector. In the framework of coherent tunneling model, the electron transmission probability, spin polarization and magnetoconductance in the hybrid structure all oscillate with the electron density within the 2DEG channel. A complete single-mode spin injection would be realized by designing a well-defined geometry to adjust the competition between the spin-dependent tunneling of the conductive electrons and spin-filtering effect of the FI barrier.
