| Popis: | It is shown that spin-polarized currents occur in metallic and ferromagnetic Ga1−xMnxAs/GaAs multilayered structures, as a result of the magnetic interaction between holes and the Mn ions. The magnetic layers act as potential barriers for holes with spins aligned parallel to the layer magnetization, and as potential wells for the inverse spin polarization. In the case of currents in-plane, holes with spin parallel and antiparallel to this magnetization move in different regions. By choosing properly the magnetic and the nonmagnetic layers widths, a spin-polarized transport with a difference of an order of magnitude on the mobilities for each spin polarization is predicted to occur. Spin-polarized minibands are also shown to occur in a superlattice based on the same structure. We calculated the dependence of the spin polarization with the superlattice parameters, and we discuss how this polarization affects the Bloch miniband transport in such ferromagnetic superlattice. |
