We propose a spin transistor using only non-magnetic materials that exploits the characteristics of bulk inversion asymmetry (BIA) in (110) symmetric quantum wells. We show that extremely large spin splittings due to BIA are possible in (110) InAs/GaSb/AlSb heterostructures, which together with the enhanced spin decay times in (110) quantum wells demonstrates the potential for exploitation of BIA effects in semiconductor spintronics devices. Spin injection and detection is achieved using spin-dependent resonant interband tunneling and spin transistor action is realized through control of the electron spin lifetime in an InAs lateral transport channel using an applied electric field (Rashba effect). This device may also be used as a spin valve, or a magnetic field sensor. The electronic structure and spin relaxation times for the spin transistor proposed here are calculated using a nonperturbative 14-band k.p nanostructure model.

Alternating layers of granular Iron (Fe) and Titanium dioxide (TiO$_{2-delta}$) were deposited on (100) Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO$_3$) substrates in low oxygen chamber pressure using a controlled pulsed laser ablation deposition technique. The total thickness of the film was about 200 nm. The films show ferromagnetic behavior for temperatures ranging from 4 to $400 ^oK$. The layered film structure was characterized as p-type magnetic semiconductor at $300 ^oK$ with a carrier density of the order of $10^{20} /cm^3$. The undoped pure TiO$_{2-delta}$ film was characterized as an n-type magnetic semiconductor. The hole carriers were excited at the interface between the granular Fe and TiO$_{2-delta}$ layers similar to holes excited in the metal/n-type semiconductor interface commonly observed in Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices. The holes at the interface were polarized in an applied magnetic field raising the possibility that these granular MOS structures can be utilized for practical spintronic device applications.

We report the observation of the spin valve effect in (Ga,Mn)As/p-GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer devices. Magnetoresistance measurements carried out in the current in plane geometry reveal positive magnetoresistance peaks when the two ferromagnetic layers a re magnetized orthogonal to each other. Measurements carried out for different post-growth annealing conditions and spacer layer thickness suggest that the positive magnetoresistance peaks originate in a noncollinear spin valve effect due to spin-dependent scattering that is believed to occur primarily at interfaces.
A quantitative investigation of spin-pumping-induced spin-transport in n-GaAs was conducted at room temperature (RT). GaAs has a non-negligible spin orbit interaction, so that electromotive force due to the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) of GaAs con tributed to the electromotive force detected with a platinum (Pt) spin detector. The electromotive force detected by the Pt spin detector had opposite polarity to that measured with a Ni80Fe20/GaAs bilayer due to the opposite direction of spin current flow, which demonstrates successful spin transport in the n-GaAs channel. A two-dimensional spin-diffusion model that considers the ISHE in the n-GaAs channel reveals an accurate spin diffusion length of t_s = 1.09 um in n-GaAs (NSi = 4x10^16 cm-3) at RT, which is approximately half that estimated by the conventional model.
A longitudinal electric field is used to control the transit time (through an undoped silicon vertical channel) of spin-polarized electrons precessing in a perpendicular magnetic field. Since an applied voltage determines the final spin direction at the spin detector and hence the output collector current, this comprises a spin field-effect transistor. An improved hot-electron spin injector providing ~115% magnetocurrent, corresponding to at least ~38% electron current spin polarization after transport through 10 microns undoped single-crystal silicon, is used for maximum current modulation.

Recently a new type diluted magnetic semiconductor (BaK)(ZnMn)2As2 (BZA) with high Cure temperature (Tc) was discovered showing independent spin and charge doping mechanism. This makes BZA a promising material for spintronics devices. Here we report for the first time the successful growth of BZA single crystal. An Andreev reflection junction that can be used to evaluate spin polarization was fabricated based on the BZA single crystal, a 66% spin polarization of the BZA single crystal was hence obtained by Andreev reflection spectroscopy analysis.
