In pursuit of a novel generation of devices, exploration of spin properties of the particles is needed. Spintronics is a modern field in physics which exploits spin properties to be used in addition to the charge degree of freedom. Since the conductivity mismatch problem presents a fundamental obstacle for electrical spin injection from a ferromagnetic metal into a diffusive semiconductor [SFM+00], other means for injecting spin-polarized carriers must be used. With a tunnel contact, it is possible to achieve a highly spin-polarized room-temperature tunnel injection [JWS+05]. We used a novel approach and applied magnetic RTDs for spin manipulation. In this work, properties of all-II-VI magnetic resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs), as applied to spintronics, were reported. Growth conditions were optimized to increase the peak-to-valley ratio, and the design of the RTDs was optimized for observation of spin related transport effects. When an external magnetic field was applied, spin manipulation became possible. Selforganized CdSe quantum structures were grown and investigated using optical means. After embedding them into a (Zn,Be)Se tunneling barrier, the properties were assessed by the resonant tunneling.
