摘要
Spin-dependent tunneling in symmetric and asymmetric double-barrier semiconductor heterostructures is studied. The effective one-band Hamiltonian approximation and spin-dependent boundary conditions approach an used for a theoretical investigation of the influence of electron spin on the tunneling probability. It is shown that spin-orbit splitting in the dispersion relation for electrons in A(III)B(V) semiconductors can provide the dependence of the tunneling transmission probability on the electron-spin polarization without additional magnetic field. The dependence can be controlled by an external electric field, and may be significant for realistic models of double-barrier semiconductor heterostructures. [S0163-1829(99)02320-6].
