Abstract:
The current-voltage characteristics of light-emitting diodes based on InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with an injector made of a diluted magnetic semiconductor (In,Fe)Sb are investigated. The current-voltage characteristics of the (In,Fe)Sb/$n$-GaAs and (In,Fe)Sb/$p$-GaAs structures are analyzed. The band diagrams of heterojunctions are described. It is shown that the studied structures are similar to structures with a Schottky barrier by the current transfer mechanism.
Keywords:diluted magnetic semiconductors, diode structures, A$^{3}$B$^{5}$ heteronanostructures, spin injection.
