The spin-polarized transport is investigated in a magnetic tunnel junction which consists of two ferromagnetic electrodes separated by a magnetic barrier and a nonmagnetic metallic spacer placed in distance above the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in presence of an inhomogeneous external modulated magnetic field and a perpendicular wave vector dependent effective potential. Based on the transfer matrix method and the nearly-free-electron approximation the dependence of the conductance and spin polarization on the Fermi energy of the electrons are studied theoretically the. strong oscillations with large amplitude investigated in spin polarization in terms of the Fermi energy due to the inhomogeneous magnetic field. The conductance in terms of the Fermi energy shows no oscillation in low energy but has a strong pick in middle region. this results may be useful for the development of spin electronic devices based on coherent transport, or may be used as a tunable spin-filter.

Spin polarization in the electron transmission of radicals is important for understanding single-molecule conductance experiments focusing on shot noise, Kondo properties or magnetoresistance. We study how stable radical substituents can affect such spin polarization when attached to oligo(p- phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) backbones. We find that it is not straightforward to translate the spin density on a stable radical substituent into spin-dependent transmission for the para-connected wires under study here, owing to increased steric interactions compared with meta-connected wires, and a resulting twisting of the radical substituent and OPE π systems. The most promising example is a t-butyl nitroxide substituent, which, despite little pronounced spin delocalization onto the backbone, yields a spin-dependent transmission feature which one might be able to shift towards the Fermi energy by additional substituents. We also find that for bulkier substituents, dispersion interactions with the substituent can lead to twisting of one of the outer OPE rings, reducing the overall conductance. As a further potential design consideration, attaching radicals via linkers might increase the possibilities for spin-dependent intermolecular and molecule-electrode interactions.

Abstract We propose a graphene-based full valley- and spin-polarization device based on strained graphene with Rashba spin orbit coupling and magnetic barrier. The underlying mechanism is the coexistence of the valley and single spin band gaps in a certain Fermi energy. By aligning the Fermi energy in the valley and single spin band gaps, remarkable valley- and spin-polarization currents can be accessed.

We examine the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on the resistance of a 2-dimensional electron system confined in a silicon quantum well when the Fermi energy is tuned through the upper valley-subband edge while the electrons are otherwise valley-polarized. In contrast to previous experiments on valley-degenerate systems which only showed positive magnetoresistance, when the Fermi energy is at or near the upper valley-subband edge, the magnetoresistance is found to show a distinct negative contribution which is interpreted as being due to spin polarization of the upper valley-subband.
