| Research Abstract |
We have developed a variety of spintronic heterostructures, Mn-delta-doped GaAs/p-AlGaAs with high Curie temperatures, GaMnAs/AlAs magnetic tunnel junctions with a single AlAs barrier and double AlAs barriers exhibiting clear TMR and resonant tunneling, a new group-IV based ferromagnetic semiconductor GeFe, proposed a new spin transistor (spin MOSFET) and, reconfigurable logic devices. These studies have contributed to the advance of spintronic heterostructure materials and devices, and increased the freedom of design and controllability.
