Abstract

We examined the electrical injection of spin-polarized electrons into a GaAs-based light-emitting diode structure from a Fe/ GaOx tunnel injector whose electron-charge injection efficiency was comparable to that of a conventional Fe/ n+ -AlGaAs ohmic injector. A high circular polarization of electroluminescence up to 20% was observed at 2 K. The combination of effective spin-and charge-injection efficiencies makes GaO x a promising tunnel barrier for GaAs-based spintronic devices. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
