Abstract

Spintronics as a fast-developing interdisciplinary field

many novel devices

such as spin-FET and spin-LED

have been proposed. However

spin injection from ferromagnet to semiconductor has a low efficiency. In order to overcome this obstacle

diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) have been proposed to realize the spin injection with high efficiency. In this paper

the spin-polarized tunnel through the ZnSe/ZnMnSe/ZnSe/ZnBeSe/ZnSe/ZnBeSe/ZnSe heterostructures is investigated by use of the transfer matrix and the linear combination of Airy functions. The bias and magnetic fields are both applied along the growth direction. The transmission coefficients as functions of the electron longitudinal energy are calculated

and some resonant peaks are observed. The transmission peaks for both spin-up and spin-down electrons move towards lower energy region with the increase of the applied voltage

which indicates that the bias can enhance the tunneling of electrons. For the spin-up case

the doublet resonance turn to singlet resonance with the increase of the magnetic field. However

the height of transmission peaks varies slightly with the magnetic field for the spin-down case. In our opinion

the reason that electrons with different spin have distinct transmission properties can be attributed to the fact that electrons are supposed by a spin-dependent potential in the DMS layer. Furthermore

we also calculate the spin polarization rate. It can be found that the spin polarization rate oscillates rapidly with the electron longitudinal energy in lower energy region

while converges to 0% in higher energy region. The curves of the rate shift towards lower energy region with the increase of the bias are as same as the transmission coefficient curves. Therefore

the spin-flip of electrons with specific energy can be realized by tuning the bias. External magnetic fields generally lift the spin polarization rate. It can be concluded that our heterostructure can be used as a spin-filter.
