Abstract

The invention discloses an optical excitation method for generating spin-polarized electrons and spin current. Through interaction between an evanescent wave generated by optical total reflection on an interface and a structure which is included by a functional layer generating the spin-polarized electrons and the spin current on the interface, is made of a surface plasmon metal material and has a nanometer characteristic size, a surface plasmon is excited, so that surface free electrons in resonance transition generate spin precession in an effective surface magnetic field of the structure made of the surface plasmon metal material to form a common spin magnetic moment component so as to generate the spin-polarized electrons in the functional layer generating the spin-polarized electrons and thus form the spin current along with spreading of the surface Plasmon on the surface (or interface).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic spin devices, in particular to a method for generating spin polarized electrons and spin current. Background technique [0002] Spin-based electronic devices have become a development trend of electronic devices due to their advantages in non-volatility, fast data processing speed, high integration density and low power consumption. Currently, there are two main methods for generating spin-polarized electrons and spin currents: electrical methods and optical methods. The electrical methods mainly include: (1) Spin diffusion transport. Polarized electrons are introduced through the ferromagnetic metal as an electrode, that is, an ohmic contact is formed at the interface between the ferromagnetic metal and the semiconductor material, and the spin-polarized current in the ferromagnetic metal is introduced into the semiconductor material under the drive of the electric field. The injection efficiency is lo...
