Narrow gap III–V semiconductors have been investigated for semiconductor spintronics. By alloying these semiconductors with manganese magnetic semiconductors result. Large magnetoresistance (MR) effects have been observed in narrow gap magnetic semiconductor p–n heterojunctions. The MR which is positive is attributed to spin selective carrier scattering. For an InMnAs / InAs heterojunction a diode MR of 2680% is observed at room temperature and high magnetic fields. This work indicates that highly spin-polarized magnetic semiconductor heterojunctions can be realized that operate at room temperature. Devices based on the MR include spin diodes and bipolar magnetic junction transistors. We utilize the diode MR states to create a binary logic family.

We utilize the tunneling between edge states of the lowest Landau level to study the behavior of the spin splitting in a wide range of magnetic fields up to 28 T. We find that the Zeeman energy with the bare |g*|=0.44 of GaAs mainly accounts for the observed threshold in the bias voltage between edge states. There is no evidence for the exchange interaction considerably affecting the measured energy gaps at the edge of a two-dimensional electron system.
