摘要：
Spin transmission across Ni80Fe20/GaAs Schottky barrier interfaces was investigated at room temperature. Circularly polarized light was used to excite electrons with a spin polarization perpendicular to the film plane. An almost constant difference in the helicity-dependent photocurrent was observed at negative bias, attributed to efficient spin filtering at the interface. The photon energy dependence indicates that the asymmetry in the photocurrent vanishes at high energy. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
