Abstract

The Rashba effect resonant tunneling diode is a candidate for achieving spin polarizing under zero magnetic field using only conventional non-magnetic III–V semiconductor heterostructures. We point out the challenges involved based on simple arguments, and offer strategies for overcoming these difficulties. We present modeling results that demonstrate the benefits of the InAs/GaSb/AlSb-based asymmetric resonant interband tunneling diode (a-RITD) for spin filtering applications.
