| Research Abstract |
It is desired that a spin-injector material with a high efficiency for developing semiconductor devices with multi-functionality. In this study, Mn-Ga films with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were investigated for depositing onto single crystal Si substrate. In addition, spin dependent transport property of the Mn-compounds was investigated, and it is discovered that tunneling spin polarization can be increased by optimizing the interface. A Mn-Ga film with an L1_0 ordered phase was also successfuly fabricated onto single crystalline Si(100) substrate.
