摘要
We performed tunneling spectroscopy in Fe/ZnSe/Ga1-xMnxAs magnetic tunnel diodes with a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure. A GaAs-like longitudinal optical phonon mode was observed for the first time in M/I/Ga1-xMnxAs junctions. This implies a better quality with fewer defect states in a ZnSe barrier as compared to other barrier materials, such as AlAs and GaAs. The normalized conductance spectra reflect the density of states of Ga1-xMnxAs in MIS tunnel diodes, suggesting that direct tunneling is a major transport mechanism due to high-quality ZnSe barrier.
