Abstract
We have studied the emission characteristics and circularly polarized electroluminescence of light-emitting diodes based on heterostructures with a single (GaAs/GaAsSb/GaAs) or two-layer (GaAs/InGaAs/GaAsSb/GaAs) quantum well (QW) and a Mn-delta-doped layer in the GaAs barrier. The ferromagnetic effect of the delta-layer of Mn on the spin polarization of carriers in QWs based on type-II heterostructures has been observed and studied for the first time. The observed phenomena are described using a model of the exchange interaction of Mn ions in the barrier and holes in the QW.
