缺陷石墨烯纳米带中的自旋输运

Spin-Transport in Defective Graphene Nanoribbons

S. M. -M. Dubois, G. -M. Rignanese, J. -C. Charlier

摘要:

利用第一性原理计算,研究了锯齿形石墨烯纳米带中磁性点缺陷(空位和吸附原子)的影响。结构,电子和自旋输运性质进行了研究。虽然原始的丝带显示反平行自旋状态在其边缘,缺陷被发现干扰这种耦合。空位的引入大大降低了平行和反平行自旋取向之间的能量差,尽管后者仍然是有利的。此外,缺陷的局部磁矩被边缘屏蔽,使得总磁矩相当小。相反,当引入吸附原子时,平行自旋取向是优选的,并且缺陷的局部磁矩加起来为边缘的贡献。此外,在费米能级处观察到自旋极化透射,表明使用这种缺陷石墨烯纳米管作为自旋阀器件。

英文摘要:

Using first-principles calculations, the effect of magnetic point defects (vacancy and adatom) is investigated in zigzag graphene nanoribbons. The structural, electronic, and spin-transport properties are studied. While pristine ribbons display anti-parallel spin states at their edges, the defects are found to perturb this coupling. The introduction of a vacancy drastically reduces the energy difference between parallel and anti-parallel spin orientations, though the latter is still favored. Moreover, the local magnetic moment of the defect is screened by the edges so that the total magnetic moment is quite small. In contrast, when an adatom is introduced, the parallel spin orientation is preferred and the local magnetic moment of the defect adds up to the contributions of the edges. Furthermore, a spin-polarized transmission is observed at the Fermi energy, suggesting the use of such a defective graphene nanoribbon as spin-valve device.
