Atomic carbon chains as spin-transmitters: an \textit{Ab initio} transport study

Joachim A. Fuerst, Mads Brandbyge, Antti-Pekka Jauho

摘要:

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.
