摘要
We studied the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of a hybrid heterostructure consisting of Mn delta-doped GaAs/AlAs/MnAs, and compared with that of a (Ga,Mn)As/AlAs/MnAs heterostructure. The former heterostructure showed a maximum TMR ratio of 43.9% at 2.6 K, indicating that the carriers in the Mn delta-doped GaAs are spin-polarized. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of both heterostructures were investigated through the TMR characteristics with varying the direction of the applied magnetic field. The difference in anisotropic behavior between the two heterostructures could be due to the difference in the Mn distribution in the Mn-doped GaAs layers.
