摘要:

我们证明了信息可以在硅中用纯自旋电流传输和处理。Fe/Al 2 O3隧道势垒接触用于在硅中产生显著的电子自旋极化,产生在充电电流路径之外流动的自旋电流。(a)通过切换Fe接触的磁化,(b)通过改变Fe/Al 2 O3上的偏压的极性,(注入器)接触,这使得能够在Si中产生多数或少数自旋布居,提供了一种在不改变接触本身的磁化的情况下电操纵注入的自旋取向的方式,以及(c)通过施加小的垂直磁场来诱导自旋进动。通过电提取的自旋极化与通过更常见的电自旋注入实现的自旋极化一样有效。平面硅三端器件的输出特性与非易失性巨磁电阻金属自旋阀结构的输出特性非常相似

英文摘要:

We demonstrate that information can be transmitted and processed with pure spin currents in silicon. Fe/Al2O3 tunnel barrier contacts are used to produce significant electron spin polarization in the silicon, generating a spin current which flows outside of the charge current path. The spin orientation of this pure spin current is controlled in one of three ways: (a) by switching the magnetization of the Fe contact, (b) by changing the polarity of the bias on the Fe/Al2O3 (injector) contact, which enables the generation of either majority or minority spin populations in the Si, providing a way to electrically manipulate the injected spin orientation without changing the magnetization of the contact itself, and (c) by inducing spin precession through application of a small perpendicular magnetic field. Spin polarization by electrical extraction is as effective as that achieved by the more common electrical spin injection. The output characteristics of a planar silicon three terminal device are very similar to those of non-volatile giant magnetoresistance metal spin-valve structures
