- Additional information
- ‘The interface is the device’ (Herbert Kroemer). However, the electronic state of buried interfaces of a nanoscale heterostructure has long been an open question. This work defined and verified a FM1/FM2/SC superstructure model that can directly determine the magnetic ground states of ferromagnetic/semiconductor (FM/SC) interfaces. It can be used to identify the ‘dead layers’ down to one atomic layer scale, and has strong implications in the development of the new-generation spintronic devices like spin field-effect transistors.
