Abstract We theoretically investigate the wave-vector filtering (WVF) effect for electrons in an antiparallel asymmetric double δ-magnetic-barrier microstructure under a bias, which can be fabricated experimentally by patterning two asymmetric ferromagnetic (FM) stripes on the top and the bottom of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterostructure, respectively. It is found that an appreciable WVF effect appears because of an essentially two-dimensional (2D) process for electrons across this microstructure. WVF effect is found to be sensitive to the applied bias. WVF efficiency can be tuned by changing bias, which may lead to an electrically-controllable momentum filter for nanoelectronics device applications.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
