Injection and detection of a spin-polarized current in a light-emitting diode
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to obtain strong evidence that the polarized electroluminescence of the spin-aligner light-emitting diode is the result of the injection of spin-polarized carriers into GaAs. New research has achieved injection efficiencies of 90% spin-polarized current into a non-magnetic semiconductor device, a GaAs/AlGaAs light-emitting diode. The extremely large degree of spin-polarization achieved in this device shows that the spin-aligner approach is very well suited to test the many remaining predictions on the physics of spin transport.

A silicon/iron-disilicide light-emitting diode operating at a wavelength of 1.5 um
Article Abstract:
Silicon, long the chosen material for most microelectronic purposes, is a poor light emitter, so hindering the development of integrated silicon optoelectric instruments. Many attempts have been made to develop efficient silicon-based structures with good light-emitting properties that will operate at a wavelength of 1.5 um. The successful construction of a working silicon/iron-disilicide light-emitting diode is described.

An efficient room-temperature silicon-based light-emitting diode
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the use of standard silicon processing techniques to develop a silicon light-emitting diode which operates effectively at room temperature due to the spacial confinement of the charge carriers.
