Popis: We report on electrical spin injection into InGaAs-based nanostructures through a semi-magnetic ZnMnSe layer in a magnetic field. We show an optical polarization degree of the electro-luminescence of up to 35% in InGaAs quantum wells and up to 14% in InGaAs quantum dots. To be able to attribute the polarization of the emitted photons to the spin alignment in the semi-magnetic layer, we have fabricated reference devices and performed all-optical measurements.
