连接两个石墨烯薄片的原子碳链最近在Jin { \it等人}的突破性实验中实现,物理修订信函{ \bf 102},205501(2009)。我们提出了{ \it ab initio}结果的电子输运性质的这种链,并证明了完整的自旋极化的传输在大的能量范围内。该效应是由于终止每个石墨烯薄片的自旋极化之字形边缘导致石墨烯$π_z$带和链态的自旋分裂。当石墨烯$π$ -态与强杂化边缘和链中的类似态共振时,发生透射。这种效应通常适用于桥接石墨烯电极之字形边缘的任何$π$共轭分子。透射的偏振可以通过化学或机械改性分子或通过施加电子门来控制。
英文摘要:
An atomic carbon chain joining two graphene flakes was recently realized in a ground-breaking experiment by Jin {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 205501 (2009). We present {\it ab initio} results for the electron transport properties of such chains and demonstrate complete spin-polarization of the transmission in large energy ranges. The effect is due to the spin-polarized zig-zag edge terminating each graphene flake causing a spin-splitting of the graphene $π_z$ bands, and the chain states. Transmission occurs when the graphene $π$-states resonate with similar states in the strongly hybridized edges and chain. This effect should in general hold for any $π$-conjugated molecules bridging the zig-zag edges of graphene electrodes. The polarization of the transmission can be controlled by chemically or mechanically modifying the molecule, or by applying an electrical gate.
Semiempirical pseudopotential approach for nitride-based nanostructures and {\it ab initio} based passivation of free surfaces
本文提出了一种基于屏蔽原子赝势和\textit{ab initio}计算的半经验赝势方法。这种方法的动机是对能够解决纳米结构的赝势的需求,其中\textit{ab initio}方法在局部密度近似的水平上既太昂贵又不够准确,而介观有效质量方法由于沿着至少一个维度的结构的小尺寸而不适用。在这项工作中,我们改进了传统的赝势方法,通过两个步骤的过程:首先,我们反演了一组自洽确定的屏蔽{ \it ab initio}势在纤锌矿GAN的一系列晶胞体积,从而确定球对称和结构平均的原子势。其次,我们调整的潜力,以重现观察到的激发能。我们发现,调整代表了一个合理的小扰动的潜力,使随后的潜力仍然再现原来的波函数,而激发能显着改善。此外,我们处理的自由表面的悬挂键的钝化,这是相关的纳米线和胶体纳米粒子的研究。我们提出了一种方法,从{ \it ab initio}计算得到钝化赝势。我们应用我们的赝势方法的GAN纳米线的电子结构上的限制效应的探索。
