Optical spin injection and XMCD in ultrathin magnetic films deposited on GaAs

The primary aim of this work is to study optically excited spin injection over a ferromagnetic metal-semiconductor Schottky barrier. A novel experimental approach has been introduced which enables the determination of the sign in the magnetic asymmetry of the photocurrent, hence the sign in the spin...
