Abstract

We study the magnetization and the magnetic phases of II-VI-based n-doped nonmagnetic- semiconductor (NMS) / narrow to wide dilute-magnetic-semiconductor (DMS) / n-doped NMS quantum wells under in-plane magnetic field. The parallel magnetic field is used as a tool, in order to achieve non-step-like density of states in these -appropriate for conduction-band spintronics- structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We investigate ballistic transport in quantum point contacts fabricated from high mobility two-dimensional hole gas. At low temperatures conductance quantization in units of 2e2/h is observed. Incorporation of point contacts into a magnetic focusing device allows us to measure relative population of the spin subbands. While both subbands are found to be equally populated at the 2e2/h plateau, there is a finite polarization when conductance is < 2e2/h. Polarization is stronger in samples with well defined “0.7 structure”. © 2007 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
