Abstract:We investigate the transport properties of ballistic spin field-effect transistors (SpinFET). We show that temperature exerts a significant influence on the device characteristics. For the InAsbased SpinFET an ambient temperature higher than T=150K leads to the absence of the ability to modulate the value of the tunneling magnetoresistance through changing the bandgap mismatch between the channel and the contacts. The length of the semiconductor channel impacts significantly the device characteristics. A short… Show more
