Abstract
We have demonstrated by CW electroluminescence the ability to inject spin polarized electrons through Co/Al2O3/GaAs structures into p-doped InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded in a PIN GaAs light emitting diode. The spin relaxation processes in the p-doped quantum dots are characterized independently by optical measurements (time and polarization-resolved photoluminescence). The measured electroluminescence circular polarization is about 15 % at 1.7 K in a 2 T magnetic field, leading to an estimation of the electrical spin injection yield of about 35%.
