Spin Absorption Effect at Ferromagnet/Ge Schottky-Tunnel Contacts
We study the influence of the junction size in ferromagnet (FM)/semiconductor (SC) contacts on four-terminal nonlocal spin signals in SC-based lateral spin-valve (LSV) structures. When we use FM/Ge Schottky-tunnel junctions with relatively low resistance-area products, the magnitude of the nonlocal spin signal depends clearly on the junction size, indicating the presence of the spin absorption ...
متن کاملElectron Spin Precession at CEBAF
The nuclear physics experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility often require longitudinally polarized electrons to be simultaneously delivered to three experimental halls. The degree of longitudinal polarization to each hall varies as function of the accelerator settings, making it challenging in certain situations to deliver a high degree of longitudinal polarization to ...
متن کاملEfficient Spin Injection into Silicon and the Role of the Schottky Barrier
Implementing spin functionalities in Si, and understanding the fundamental processes of spin injection and detection, are the main challenges in spintronics. Here we demonstrate large spin polarizations at room temperature, 34% in n-type and 10% in p-type degenerate Si bands, using a narrow Schottky and a SiO2 tunnel barrier in a direct tunneling regime. Furthermore, by increasing the width of ...
متن کاملTowards spin injection from silicon into topological insulators: Schottky barrier between Si and Bi2Se3
A scheme is proposed to electrically measure the spin-momentum coupling in the topological insulator surface state by injection of spin polarized electrons from silicon. As an initial approach, devices were fabricated consisting of thin (<100 nm) exfoliated crystals of Bi2Se3 on n-type silicon with independent electrical contacts to silicon and Bi2Se3. Analysis of the temperature dependence of ...
متن کاملOn the calculation of Schottky contact resistivity
This numerical study examines the importance of self-consistently accounting for transport and electrostatics in the calculaiton of semiconductor/metal Schottky contact resistivity. It is shown that ignoring such self-consistency results in significant under-estimation of the contact resistivity. An explicit numerical method has also been proposed to efficiently improve contact resistivity calc...
