Abstract
Electrical spin injection experiments are performed at 1.5 K in a new hybrid structure, In0.75Ga0.25As two-dimensional electron gases with lateral Co0.8Fe0.2 electrodes. From the electrode spacing (\lesssim9 µm) dependence of the spin-valve signals in the nonlocal regime, we obtained very promising results such as longer spin diffusion length Ls of ∼5.1 µm and higher spin polarization η of ∼5.7% than those in former reports. They are mainly attained by the suppression of the D'yakonov–Perel' spin relaxation process due to the tuned spin–orbit couplings.
