Abstract

A model for calculating the current and spin polarization in a double-barrier InGaAs resonant tunnelling structure is described with the aim to account for phase-breaking scattering. It is based on the nonequilibrium Green's function method with both elastic and inelastic (LO-phonon) scattering described within the self-consistent first Born approximation. It has been found that the maximum current spin polarization of around 0.4 in the ballistic limit decreases to around 0.1 for scattering transport with scattering-induced broadening of quasi-bound states of around 4meV.
