Abstract
We report results of electrical spin injection at the high-mobility quasi-two-dimensional electron system (2-DES) that forms at the interface. In a nonlocal, three-terminal measurement geometry, we analyze the voltage variation associated with the precession of the injected spin accumulation driven by perpendicular or transverse magnetic fields (Hanle and inverted Hanle effect). The influence of bias and back-gate voltages reveals that the spin accumulation signal is amplified by resonant tunneling through localized states in the strongly coupled to the 2-DES by tunneling transfer.
