Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied MnAs/InAs heterostructures on GaAs(111)B for spin field-effect transistors based on hybrid structures consisting of semiconductor channel with large spin-orbit coupling and ferromagnetic metal electrodes. In the present study, we first found the enhancement of spin signals and injection efficiency in local and non-local spin valve devices by increasing measurement temperatures. Then we obtained the information of lattice relaxation around heterointerfaces by RHEED and STEM. Also we confirmed tunneling effect in vertical transport, and metal direct patterning by N2 GFIS-FIB.
