We theoretically explore how to control electron-spin polarization in layered semiconductor nanostructure (LSN) by a [Formula: see text]-potential realized by atomic-layer doping. Due to Rashba spin-orbit coupling, a considerable spin polarization still remains even through a [Formula: see text]-potential is embedded in the LSN. Spin polarization ratio can be controlled by altering weight or position of [Formula: see text]-potential. Based on such an LSN, a structurally-tunable electron-spin filter may be obtained for spintronics device applications.

Recently, an electron-spin filter was proposed by depositing a nanosized ferromagnetic metal stripe and a Schottky normal metal stripe on the top of the semiconductor heterostructure [F. Zhai, H. Q. Xu and Y. Guo, Phys. Rev. B70 (2004) 085308]. This device has a considerable electron-spin polarization and potential application in spintronics. Here we apply a bias to this device and theoretically demonstrate how to manipulate its electron-spin polarization. By numerical simulations, we found that not only the amplitude of the electron-spin polarization but also its sign varies with the bias, giving rise to a bias-tunable spin filter device.
