摘要:

由于石墨烯中弱的自旋轨道相互作用和特殊的相对论色散,人们提出了在具有扶手椅边界的石墨烯纳米带中构建自旋量子比特的令人兴奋的建议。然而,电子之间的相互作用被忽略了在大多数研究到目前为止,因此激励我们调查扶手椅石墨烯纳米粒子的电子关联的作用,通过分析和数值方法。在这里,我们表明,包括相互排斥导致剧烈的变化和基态变成铁磁性的载流子浓度的范围内。我们的研究结果突出了电子-电子相互作用及其与石墨烯纳米带中边界拓扑结构的微妙相互作用的至关重要性。此外,由于铁磁特性敏感地依赖于载流子浓度,它可以容易地通过电子门操纵。这种具有金属导电性的铁磁态不仅在学术上令人惊讶,而且在纳米自旋电子学方面具有潜在的应用前景。

英文摘要:

Due to the weak spin-orbit interaction and the peculiar relativistic dispersion in graphene, there are exciting proposals to build spin qubits in graphene nanoribbons with armchair boundaries. However, the mutual interactions between electrons are neglected in most studies so far and thus motivate us to investigate the role of electronic correlations in armchair graphene nanoribbon by both analytical and numerical methods. Here we show that the inclusion of mutual repulsions leads to drastic changes and the ground state turns ferromagnetic in a range of carrier concentrations. Our findings highlight the crucial importance of the electron-electron interaction and its subtle interplay with boundary topology in graphene nanoribbons. Furthermore, since the ferromagnetic properties sensitively depends on the carrier concentration, it can be manipulated at ease by electric gates. The resultant ferromagnetic state with metallic conductivity is not only surprising from an academic viewpoint, but also has potential applications in spintronics at nanoscale.
