Abstract
We present a theoretical study on spin-dependent transport of electrons in any anti-parallel double δ -magnetic-barrier nanostructure, which can be experimentally realized by depositing a ferromagnetic stripe on the surface of a semiconductor heterostructure. A general fomula of tranmission probability for electrons tunneling through this kind of nanostructures, is obtained. It is shown that large spin-polarized current can be achieved in such a device. It also is shown that the degree of electron-spin polarization is strongly dependent upon magnetic-strength difference of two δ -barriers. These interesting properties may provide an alternative scheme to spin-polarize electrons into semiconductors, and this device may be used as a tunable spin-filter.
