Reverse Schottky-Asymmetry Spin Current Detectors

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

By reversing the Schottky barrier-height asymmetry in hot-electron semiconductor-metal-semiconductor ballistic spin filtering spin detectors, we have achieved: 1. Demonstration of >50% spin polarization in silicon, resulting from elimination of the ferromagnet/silicon interface on the transport channel detector contact, and 2. Evidence of spin transport at temperatures as high as 260K, enabled by an increase of detector Schottky barrier height.
