Spin injection efficiency based on conventional and/or half-metallic ferromagnet/semiconductor is greatly limited by the Schmidt obstacle due to conductivity mismatch, here we proposed that by replacing the metallic injectors with spin gapless semiconductors can significantly reduce the conductive mismatch to enhance spin injection efficiency. By performing first principles calculations based on
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
