摘要:

基于(i)它们的面内晶格常数几乎完全匹配和(ii)它们的电子结构仅在一个自旋方向上在倒易空间中重叠的观察,我们预测石墨与(111)fcc或(0001)hcp Ni或Co之间的界面具有完美的自旋过滤,自旋过滤对粗糙度和无序度相当不敏感。石墨和开放的$d$ -壳过渡金属之间的化学键的形成(其可能使自旋注入复杂化或甚至阻止自旋注入到单个石墨烯片中)可以简单地通过用一个或几个单层的Cu对Ni或Co进行除尘来防止,同时仍然保持理想的自旋注入性质。

英文摘要:

Based upon the observations (i) that their in-plane lattice constants match almost perfectly and (ii) that their electronic structures overlap in reciprocal space for one spin direction only, we predict perfect spin filtering for interfaces between graphite and (111) fcc or (0001) hcp Ni or Co. The spin filtering is quite insensitive to roughness and disorder. The formation of a chemical bond between graphite and the open $d$-shell transition metals that might complicate or even prevent spin injection into a single graphene sheet can be simply prevented by dusting Ni or Co with one or a few monolayers of Cu while still preserving the ideal spin injection property.
