It is found that the transmission and the conductance depend strongly on the shape of the magnetic barrier and the height of the electric harrier. The results indicate that this system does not possess any spin filtering and spin polarization and electron gases can realize perfect resonant tunneling and wave-vector filtering properties.

文摘Electron spin-polarization modulation with a ferromagnetic strip of in-plane magnetization is analyzed in a hybrid ferromagnet/semiconductor filter device.The dependencies of electron spin-polarization on the strip’s magnetization strength,width and position have been systematically investigated.A novel magnetic control spin-polarization switch is proposed by inserting a ferromagnetic metal(FM)strip eccentric in relation to off the center of the spin filter,which produces the first energy level spin-polarization reversal.It is believed to be of significant importance for the realization of semiconductor spintronics multiple-value logic devices.
