Abstract

Spin-dependent resonant tunneling in CdTe/CdMnTe double-barrier heterostructures was theoretically investigated. The transfer-matrix method was employed to study the spin transport properties under zero applied field. The effect of Dresselhaus spin- orbit coupling was considered in the symmetrical heterostructure. The influences of the barrier width and height on the polarization efficiency, barrier transparency and dwell time of light and heavy holes were observed and discussed.
