Posted: Jun 05, 2018: Scientists create new functionality in a spin Esaki diode (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Tokyo and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have successfully ...

Here, using tunnelling spectroscopy in Esaki-diode structures, we report the observation of such a large spontaneous spin-splitting energy (31.7–50 meV) ... Full size image.

The Esaki diode (L. Esaki Phys. Rev. 109, 603–604; 1958) was the first quantum-electron device. Unlike the mechanism that powers most semiconductor devices, ...

Nature Materials - Sn-seeded Esaki diode. Metal seed particles have been regularly used in the fabrication of semiconductor nanowires, as they provide a means to control the nanowire properties ...
