Our finding has technological significance because it implies spin injection sensitivity to external electrical bias. We show that as current density increases, spin asymmetry and the magnitude of interfacial resistance reduces, resulting in lower spin injection. We conclude that to increase spin injection, it is necessary to increase the intrinsic spin selectivity of the interfacial barriers. © 2007 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Journal of Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/83049 | ISSN: | 00218979 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.2801097 |
