Growth and tunneling spectroscopy study of Fe/(GaAs,AlAs)/Ga1-xMnxAs ferromagnet/semiconductor heterostructures
Fully expitaxial tunneling structure Fe/Semiconductor/(Ga,Mn)As was grown acid investigated. With semi-insulating (Ga,Mn)As as electrode, strong temperature dependent structure was observed in I-V characteristic. The electronic band structure in the contact region is discussed and the result is explained as inelastic tunneling via impurity states.
