摘要
We have fabricated and characterized surface-emitting, spin-polarized light-emitting diodes with a Mn-doped InAs dilute magnetic quantum dot spin-injector and contact region grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy, and an In0.4Ga0.6As quantum dot active region. Energy-dispersive X-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopies performed on individual dots indicate that the Mn atoms incorporate within the dots themselves. Circularly polarized light is observed up to 160 K with a maximum degree of circular polarization of 5.8% measured at 28 K, indicating high-temperature spin injection and device operation.
