Formation of spin light-emitting diodes based on InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures containing ferromagnetic inclusions
The electroluminescence of light-emitting diodes based on heterostructures with InGaAs quantum wells and a delta 〈Mn〉 doped layer in the GaAs barrier is studied. It is shown that the diodes emit circularly polarized light with the degree of polarization depending on the applied magnetic field and on temperature. We assume that the temperature dependences of the degree of polarization are determined by a change in the mutual position of energy levels of Mn ions in the delta layer and of holes in a quantum well.
