Current-voltage characteristics of semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions in the spin-blockade regime
@article{Pershin2008CurrentvoltageCO, title={Current-voltage characteristics of semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions in the spin-blockade regime}, author={Yuriy V. Pershin and Massimiliano Di Ventra}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2008}, volume={77}, pages={073301} }
It was recently predicted [Phys. Rev. B 75, 193301 (2007)] that spin blockade may develop at nonmagnetic semiconductor/perfect ferromagnet junctions when the electron flow is directed from the semiconductor into the ferromagnet. Here we consider current-voltage characteristics of such junctions. By taking into account the contact resistance, we demonstrate a current stabilization effect: by increasing the applied voltage, the current density through the junction saturates at a specific value…
