Control of circular polarization of electroluminescence in spin light-emitting diodes based on InGaAs/GaAs/δ〈Mn〉 heterostructures

详细

Circularly polarized luminescence of light-emitting InGaAs/GaAs structures with a delta-doped Mn layer in a GaAs barrier was studied. The structural parameters were varied by different ways, among them are homogeneous and delta-doping with acceptor impurity, and removal of donor doping from the technological process. As it was found, the magnitude and polarity of the degree of circular polarization of luminescence strongly depend on the technological mode chosen. Simultaneous modeling of wave functions of structures highlights a good agreement between the parameters of circularly polarized luminescence and spatial distribution of wave functions of heavy holes relative to the Mn delta-layer.
