Spin injection is now a very fast growing and central issue towards a major new direction in electronics - spintronics. In particular, the external control of spin polarization in the injection sources is critical and in demand. In this study, we propose a promising new approach to developing a spin source, where the spin polarization can be controlled using an external bias and current. The development of the spin source and a full understanding of the principle are our target.
