An efficient spin polarizer in nonmagnetic semiconductors is provided.
Previous spin injection devices suffered from very low efficiency (less
than 35%) into semiconductors. An efficient spin polarizer is provided
which is based on ferromagnetic-semiconductor heterostructures and
ensures spin polarization of electrons in nonmagnetic semiconductors
close to 100% near the ferromagnetic-semiconductor junctions at wide
temperature intervals ranging from very low temperatures to room
temperatures even in the case when spin polarization of electrons in the
ferromagnetic layer is relatively low.
