锯齿形石墨烯纳米颗粒中的双自旋过滤效应

Dual Spin Filter Effect in a Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbon

Taisuke Ozaki, Kengo Nishio, Hongming Weng, Hiori Kino

摘要:

通过第一性原理计算,证明了对称锯齿形石墨烯纳米颗粒(ZGNR)反铁磁结在有限偏压下的双自旋过滤效应。与使用半金属材料的传统自旋过滤器器件不同,上自旋和下自旋电子在偏置电压的相反方向上被单向过滤,使得结成为双自旋过滤器。相反,不对称ZGNR不表现出这样的自旋过滤器效应。通过对Wannier函数和紧束缚模型的分析,我们阐明了在费米能级附近$π$和$π^*$态的自旋极化能带结构之间的相互作用以及由波函数的对称性引起的两个态的带间跃迁的退耦在这种效应中起着至关重要的作用.

英文摘要:

By first principle calculations, a dual spin filter effect under finite bias voltages is demonstrated in an antiferromagnetic junction of symmetric zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR). Unlike conventional spin filter devices using half metallic materials, the up- and down-spin electrons are unidirectionally filtered in the counter direction of the bias voltage, making the junction a dual spin filter. On the contrary, asymmetric ZGNRs do not exhibit such a spin filter effect. By analyzing Wannier functions and a tight-binding model, we clarify that an interplay between the spin polarized band structure of $π$ and $π^*$ states near the Fermi level and decoupling of the interband hopping of the two states, arising from the symmetry of the wave functions, plays a crucial role in the effect.
