Tunnel Contacts for Spin Injection into Silicon: The Si-Co Interface with and without a MgO Tunnel Barrier—A Study by High-Resolution Rutherford Backscattering
In order to obtain high spin injection efficiency, a ferromagnet-semiconducor Schottky contact must be of high crystalline quality. This is particularly important in the case of ferromagnet-silicon interfaces, since these elements tend to mix and form silicides. In this study Co-Si (100) interfaces...
