Investigation of helicity-dependent photocurrent at room temperature from a Fe/x-AlO sub(x)/p-GaAs Schottky junction with oblique surface illumination

In view of a study on spin-polarized photodiodes, the helicity-dependent photocurrent ([Delta]I) in a Fe/[gamma]-AlO sub(x)/p-GaAs Schottky diode is measured at room temperature by illuminating a circularly polarized light beam ([lambda] = 785 nm) either horizontally on the cleaved sidewall or at an...

description In view of a study on spin-polarized photodiodes, the helicity-dependent photocurrent ([Delta]I) in a Fe/[gamma]-AlO sub(x)/p-GaAs Schottky diode is measured at room temperature by illuminating a circularly polarized light beam ([lambda] = 785 nm) either horizontally on the cleaved sidewall or at an oblique angle on the top metal surface. The plane of incidence is fixed to be parallel to the magnetization vector of the in-plane magnetized Fe electrode. The conversion efficiency F, which is a relative value of [Delta]I with respect to the total photocurrent I sub(ph), is determined to be 1.0 x 10 super(-3) and 1.2 x 10 super(-2) for sidewall illumination and oblique-angle illumination, respectively. Experimental data are compared with the results of a model calculation consisting of drift-diffusion and Julliere spin-dependent tunneling transports, from which two conclusions are obtained: the model accounts fairly well for the experimental data without introducing the annihilation of spin-polarized carriers at the [gamma]-AlO sub(x)/p-GaAs interface for the oblique-angle illumination, but the model does not fully explain the relatively low F in terms of the surface recombination at the cleaved sidewall in the case of sidewall illumination. Microscopic damage to the tunneling barrier at the cleaved edge would be one possible cause of the reduced F.
