      Electron spin filtering in ferromagnet/semiconductor heterostructures 

      Bland, J. A. C.; Steinmuller, S. J.; Hirohata, A.; Cho, W. S.; Xu, Y. B.; Guertler, C. M.; Wastlbauer, G.; Ionescu, A.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Holmes, S. N. (2003)
      Circularly polarized light was used to generate spin-polarized electrons at room temperature in ferromagnet (FM)/GaAs Schottky diode structures. A change in the helicity-dependent photocurrent was obtained when the ...

      Spin transport in germanium at room temperature 

      Shen, C.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Lee, K. Y.; Holmes, S. N.; Mansell, R.; Husain, M.; Shah, V.; Li, X. V.; Kurebayashi, H.; Farrer, I.; De Groot, C. H.; Leadley, D. R.; Bell, G.; Parker, E. H. C.; Whall, T.; Ritchie, D. A.; Barnes, C. H. W. (2010)
      Spin-dependent transport is investigated in a Ni/Ge/AlGaAs junction with an electrodeposited Ni contact. Spin-polarized electrons are excited by optical spin orientation and are subsequently used to measure the spin dependent ...
