Abstract
A theoretical prediction of the spin-dependent electron self-energy and in-plane transport of a two-dimensional electron gas in proximity with a ferromagnetic gate is presented. The application of the predicted spin-dependent properties is illustrated by the proposal of a device configuration with two neighboring ferromagnetic gates which produces a magnetoresistance effect on the channel current generated by nonmagnetic source and drain contacts. Specific results are shown for a silicon inversion layer with iron gates. The gate leakage current is found to be beneficial to the spin effects.Keywords
