We study magnetic proximity effect induced low-energy spin transport in the normal/ferromagnetic junction of a semi-infinite zigzag graphene nanoribbon. Due to the absence of a spin flip in a single interface, the spin transfer in this model can be described by the "two-spin channel" model. We identify each spin channel as either a perfect conducting or a non-conducting channel. This feature leads to spin filter in symmetric zigzag graphene nanoribbon and spin precession in antisymmetric zigzag graphene nanoribbon, and helps to directly determine the exchange-splitting intensity directly, even without an external auxiliary bias. 相似文献

We study the spin-dependent thermoelectric transport through two-dimensional normal/ferromagnetic/normal/ferromagnetic/normal graphene (NG/FG/NG/FG/NG) junctions. It is found that both charge and spin thermopowers depend on the FGʼs magnetization direction and exhibit an anisotropic behavior. Interestingly, the spin thermopower can be as large as the charge thermopower and even can exceed the latter in magnitude. Moreover, the pure spin thermopower and spin current emerge in this device. The results obtained here suggest a feasible way of enhancing thermospin effects and generating the pure spin current in two-dimensional graphene. 相似文献

In this article we study the role of Rashba spin–orbit coupling and electron–phonon interaction on the electronic structure of zigzag graphene nanoribbon with different width. The total Hamiltonian of nanoribbon is written in the tight binding form and the electron–electron interaction is modeled in the Hubbard term. We used a unitary transformation to reach an effective Hamiltonian for nano ribbon in the presence of electron–phonon interaction. Our results show that small Rashba spin orbit coupling annihilates the anti-ferromagnetic phase in the zigzag edges of ribbon and the electron–phonon interaction yields small polaron formation in graphene nano ribbon. Furthermore, Rashba type spin–orbit coupling increases (decreases) the polaron formation energy for up (down) spin state. 相似文献

Using density functional theory combined with non-equilibrium Green's function method, we investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of debrominated tetrabromopolyaromatic (D-TBPA) molecules embedded between zigzag graphene nanoribbon electrodes, and the effects of copper and cobalt side doping have also been considered. Our results show that the copper doping can insert new energy levels around the Fermi Level and keep spin degeneration of band structure, the cobalt doping can also induce spin splitting. The results on spin transport properties of D-TBPAs embedded into zigzag graphene nanoribbon electrodes show that these systems exist spin filtering and negative differential resistance behaviors. Corresponding physical mechanism on the spin-dependent transport property has been revealed according to the frontier molecular orbital characteristics. 相似文献

The valley valve effect was predicted in a straight zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGR) p/n junction. In this work, we address a possible valley selection rule in a Y-shaped ZGR junction. By modeling the system as a three-terminal device and calculating the conductance spectrum, we found that the valley valve effect could be preserved in the system and the Y-shaped connection does not mix the valley index or the pseudoparities of quasiparticles. It is also shown that the Y-shaped ZGR device can be used to separate spins in real space according to the unchanged valley valve effect. Our finding might pave a way to manipulate and detect spins in a multi-terminal graphene-based spin device. 相似文献

Based on the well known nearest-neighbor tight-binding approximation for graphene, an exact expression for the electronic conductance across a zigzag nanoribbon/armchair nanotube junction is presented for non-interacting electrons. The junction results from the removal of a half-row of zigzag dimers in armchair nanotube, or equivalently by partial rolling of zigzag nanoribbon and insertion of a half-row of zigzag dimers in between. From the former point of view, a discrete form of Dirichlet condition is imposed on a zigzag half-line of dimers assuming the vanishing of wave function outside the physical structure. A closed form expression is provided for the reflection and transmission moduli for the outgoing wave modes for each given electronic wave mode incident from either side of the junction. It is demonstrated that such a contact junction between the nanotube and nanoribbon exhibits negligible backscattering, and the transmission has been found to be nearly ballistic. In contrast to the previously reported studies for partially unzipped carbon nanotubes (CNTs), using the same tight binding model, it is found that due to the “defect” there is certain amount of mixing between the electronic wave modes with even and odd reflection symmetries. But the junction remains a perfect valley filter for CNTs at certain energy ranges. Applications aside from the electronic case, include wave propagation in quasi-one-dimensional honeycomb structures of graphene-like constitution. The paper includes several numerical calculations, analytical derivations, and graphical results, which complement the provision of succinct closed form expressions. 相似文献

The electronic (quantum) transport in a NG/FB/FG tunnel junction (where NG, FB and FG are a normal graphene layer, a ferromagnetic barrier connected to a gate and a ferromagnetic graphene layer, respectively) is investigated. The motions of the electrons in the graphene layers are taken to be governed by the Dirac Equation. Parallel (P) and antiparallel alignment (AP) of the magnetizations in the barrier and in the ferromagnetic graphene are considered. Our work focuses on the oscillation of the electrical conductance (Gq), of the spin conductance (Gs) and of the tunneling magneto resistance (TMR) of this magnetic tunnel junction. We find that, the quantum modulation due to the effect of the exchange field in FB will be seen in the plots the conductance and of the TMR as functions of the thickness of ferromagnetic barrier (L). The period of two multiplied sinusoidal terms of the modulation are seen to be controlled by varying the gate potential and the exchange field of the FB layer. The phenomenon, a quantum beating, is built up with two oscillating spin conductance components which have different periods of oscillation related to the splitting of Dirac's energies in the FB region. The amplitudes of oscillations of Gq, Gs and TMR are not seen to decrease as the thickness increases. The decaying behaviors seen in the conventional transport through an insulator do not appear. 相似文献

Based on density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function, we investigate the edge hydrogenation and oxidation effects on the spin transport of devices consisting of a zigzag C2N nanoribbon (ZC2NNR) embedded in zigzag graphene nanoribbons in parallel (P) and antiparallel (AP) spin configurations. The results show that device with edge hydrogenation exhibits dual spin filtering effect in AP spin configuration and obvious negative differential resistance in both P and AP spin configuration. By substituting oxygen for hydrogen as passivation atoms of ZC2NNR, the spin filtering efficiency is as high as 100% in the P spin configuration, and the negative differential resistance is largely enhanced with a peak to valley ratio in excess of 4×103. Our theoretical studies suggest that zigzag C2N nanoribbon modulated by edge substitution has great potential in the design of future multifunctional spin devices. 相似文献

In the study, an improved superconducting heterojunction is made up of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon, which is patterned by a triangle and supports localized edge mode. Since all the localized edge modes stem from a pattern operation, the structure features of the pattern exert an enormous function on the coherent quantum transport. Especially, the patterned modes can enhance the Andreev reflection largely both in the ferromagnetic nanoribbon edge and the antiferromagnetic nanoribbon edge. The spin resolved zero bias conductances, in sharp contrast to its counterpart in the infinite width superconducting heterojunction, exhibit the different dependence on the patterned ferromagnetic interaction. 相似文献

Quantum interference plays an important role in tuning the transport property of nano-devices. Using the non-equilibrium Green's Function method in combination with density functional theory, we investigate the influence to the transport property of a CO molecule adsorbed on one edge of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon device. Our results show that the CO molecule-adsorbed zigzag graphene nanoribbon devices can exhibit the Fano resonance phenomenon. Moreover, the distance between CO molecules and zigzag graphene nanoribbons is closely related to the energy sites of the Fano resonance. Our theoretical analyses indicate that the Fano resonance would be attributed to the interaction between CO molecules and the edge of the zigzag graphene nanoribbon device, which results in the localization of electrons and significantly changes the transmission spectrum. 相似文献

The spin filter effect and magnetoresistance (MR) in the graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated by the non-equilibrium Green’s function method. Due to the spin-dependent current blocking effect, the ferromagnetic graphene/normal graphene junction can filter the spin in one direction, so a fully spin-polarized current is found. As the on-site energy μR in the right lead goes from negative to positive, the spin-down transmission would suddenly transforms from an `ON’ state to an `OFF’ state, however the spin-up transmission transforms from an `OFF’ state to an `ON’ state, so we can choose the current’s spin polarized direction by tuning μR. For the ferromagnetic graphene/ferromagnetic graphene junction the current for the antiparallel magnetization configuration is blocked, a very large MR is obtained. It is expected that these features may serve as a type of useful spintronic devices in future. 相似文献

With the multi-functional molecular device based on graphene nanoribbon being deeply studied in experiment, the zigzag-edged graphene device is still worth to investigate. Employing the ab-initio method, the spin transport properties have been studied for the nanojunctions consisting of a p-phenylene vinylene (PPV) molecule sandwiched between two-probe leads of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs). A series of obvious electromagnetic transmission functionalities, including spin switching, negative differential resistance (NDR), dual spin-filtering, magnetoresistance and spin-diode behaviors, are numerically referred in the proposed molecular junction within spin parallel or antiparallel configurations. The performance of switching and double spin filtering can be explained by the transport spectra or total transmission pathways. Besides, the rectification effect is due to the asymmetry spatial distribution of the local density of states as well as the corresponding coupling between the PPV molecule and leads. It is expected that the designed models can be ideal candidate for future spintronic device. 相似文献

The transport property of zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) connected by two normal metal contacts is investigated by Landauer-Buttiker formula combined with transfer matrix method. In addition to even-odd parity, we found that the conductivity is completely determined by the width-to-length ratio. For certain wide ZGNR with even number carbon atoms in the width direction, the conductivity dependence on the length changes from linearly to inversely, when the length approaches the thermodynamic limit, as the transport property is quite different for different aspect of ZGNR. 相似文献

The electronic transport properties of a graphene nanoribbon (GNR) are known to be sensitive to its width, edges and defects. We investigate the electronic transport properties of a graphene nanoribbon heterojunction constructed by fusing a zigzag and an armchair graphene nanoribbon (zGNR/aGNR) side by side. First principles results reveal that the heterojunction can be either metallic or semiconducting, depending on the width of the nanoribbons. Intrinsic rectification behaviors have been observed, which are largely sensitive to the connection length between the zGNR and aGNR. The microscopic origins of the rectification behavior have been revealed. We find that the carrier type can alter from electrons to holes with the bias voltage changing from negative to positive; the asymmetrical transmission spectra of electrons and holes induced by the interface defects directly results in the rectification behavior. The results suggest that any methods which can enhance the asymmetry of the transmission spectra between holes and electrons could be used to improve the rectification behavior in the zGNR/aGNR heterojunction. Our findings could be useful for designing graphene based electronic devices. 相似文献

We study the transport properties of a Z-shaped graphene nanoribbon (GNR). It is found that the quasibound states in the Z-shaped junction induce resonant peaks around the Dirac point in the conductance profile. The resonant transmission via the quantum bound state is very sensitive to the size of the junction. The number and also the lifetimes of the quasibound states increase with the size of the Z-shaped junction. Long lifetime bound states which do not induce obvious resonant peaks exist in the junction with a wider or longer zigzag edged GNR. The resonant characteristics of the Z-shaped GNR can be tuned by the variation of the geometrical size. 相似文献

The supercurrent in a Josephson junction composed of the zigzag edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) lying between two superconducting leads [superconductor-graphene-superconductor (SGS) junction] has been studied by the Green's function method. It is found that a small transverse electric field applied on the ZGNR can reverse the supercurrent direction, leading to a so-called 0-pi phase transition. The 0-pi phase transition can happen periodically with a change in the ZGNR's length, and, more importantly, can be easily and electrically controllable by a gate voltage, which is absent in the conventional superconducting pi junction and would make the SGS junction very promising for future application in superconducting electronics, as well as quauntum information and computation. 相似文献
