Abstract
The injection of spin-polarized electrons is presently one of the major cha llenges in semiconductor spin electronics. We propose and demonstrate a mos t efficient spin injection using diluted magnetic semiconductors as spin al igners. Time-resolved photoluminescence with a Cd 0.98 Mn 0.02 Te/CdTe stru cture proves the feasibility of the spin-alignment mechanism. (C) 1999 Amer ican Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)00709-3].
