摘要
The discovery of carrier induced ferromagnetism in p-type doped diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) with Curie temperatures actually up to 110 K in Ga1-xMnxAs, as well as the demonstration of high spin injection efficiency observed from II-VI and III-V DMS [1,2] have recently renewed strongly the interest in DMS. In this paper, we present an overview of the recent experiments we have pet-formed on spin injection light emitting diodes using an n-type doped II-VI DMS layer as spin aligner and on p-type doped II-VI magnetic heterostructures: Cd1-xMnxTe quantum wells and Zn1-xMnxTe epilayers.
