Electrically tunable spin filtering for electron tunneling between spin-resolved quantum Hall edge states and a quantum dot
- Department of Applied Physics, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8656 (Japan)
Spin filtering with electrically tunable efficiency is achieved for electron tunneling between a quantum dot and spin-resolved quantum Hall edge states by locally gating the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) leads near the tunnel junction to the dot. The local gating can change the potential gradient in the 2DEG and consequently the edge state separation. We use this technique to electrically control the ratio of the dot–edge state tunnel coupling between opposite spins and finally increase spin filtering efficiency up to 91%, the highest ever reported, by optimizing the local gating.
