Abstract:
An electron emission device for generating and emitting spin-polarized electrons comprising: a first conducting material; a magnetic ultrathin film magnetically coupled to the first conducting material; an electrically insulative and magnetically permeable medium being located between the first conducting material and the magnetic ultrathin film; a second conducting material formed into a structure that emits electrons when impinged by an electric field and electrically coupled to the magnetic ultrathin film; and an anode, electrically coupled to the structure that emits electrons, for generating the electric field that impinges on the structure that emits electrons.
