Highly polarized injection luminescence in forward-biased   ferromagnetic-semiconductor junctions at low spin polarization of current
  We consider electron tunneling from a nonmagnetic $n$-type semiconductor ($n$-S) into a ferromagnet (FM) through a very thin forward-biased Schottky barrier resulting in efficient extraction of electron spin from a thin $n$-S layer near FM-S interface at low spin polarization of the current. We show that this effect can be used for an efficient polarization radiation source in a heterostructure where the accumulated spin polarized electrons are injected from $n$-S and recombine with holes in a quantum well. The radiation polarization depends on a bias voltage applied to the FM-S junction.
