Abstract

Half-infinitely-wide ferromagnetic stripe and nanosized Schottky-metal stripe can be experimentally assembled on surface of GaAs/Al_xGa_1-xAs heterostructure, fabricating a hybrid semiconductor nanostructure, which was recently proven to act as an electron-momentum filter (a type of emerging nanoelectronics device). With the help of atomic-layer doping technique, a tunable δ-potential can be intentionally embedded inside the device. Because the inclusion of δ-doping does not clear two-dimensional characteristic of electron motion, an obvious wave vector filtering (WVF) effect still appears. Moreover, the effective potential experienced by electron in the semiconductor nanostructure is closely related to the δ-doping, therefore, a structurally-controllable electron-momentum filter with a tunable WVF efficiency by weight or position of the δ-doping can be obtained for nanoelectronics device applications.

基于混合铁磁体、肖特基金属和半导体纳米结构的结构可控电子动量滤波器

通过实验，可以在 GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs 异质结构表面组装出半无限宽的铁磁条纹和纳米级肖特基金属条纹，从而制造出一种混合半导体纳米结构，这种结构最近被证明可以用作电子动量滤波器（一种新兴的纳米电子器件）。在原子层掺杂技术的帮助下，可调δ电位可以有意识地嵌入器件内部。由于δ掺杂的加入并不能清除电子运动的二维特性，因此仍然会出现明显的波矢量滤波（WVF）效应。此外，电子在半导体纳米结构中经历的有效电势与δ掺杂密切相关，因此可以获得一种结构可控的电子动量滤波器，通过δ掺杂的重量或位置实现可调的波矢量滤波效率，从而应用于纳米电子器件。
