Self assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are zero dimensional multilevel systems with long spin relaxation times and thus offer great potential for spin optoelectronic research and applications.
Electrically injected spin polarization is efficiently transferred into circularly polarized photons if the injected spin is oriented perpendicularly to the growth plane. The optical polarization from an ensemble of QDs in a spin-LED is strongly magnetic field dependent due to the orbital character of the transitions of excited carriers. An unambiguous separation of spin injection and Zeeman shift is obtained by investigating the magnetic field dependence of the circular polarisation of the spin-LED emission.
Here we present and analyze perpendicular spin injection from Fe/Tb magnetic injectors at room temperature and in remanence. Polarization features of excited transitions are discussed.
