弯曲石墨烯带中的自旋轨道

Spin orbit in curved graphene ribbons

D. Gosálbez-Martínez, J. J. Palacios, J. Fernández-Rossier

摘要:

我们使用紧束缚模型在斯莱特-科斯特近似下研究了平面和弯曲锯齿形石墨烯带中电子的电子性质。我们发现,曲率显着增强了石墨烯带中的自旋轨道效应的作用,并对边缘状态的自旋取向有很强的影响:而自旋是垂直于表面的情况下,平坦的带,这不再是在弯曲的带的情况下。我们发现,对于边缘态,自旋密度始终位于垂直于带轴的平面内,并且强烈偏离带的法线,即使对于非常小的曲率和小的自旋轨道耦合的碳。我们发现,曲率的结果也在一个有效的第二邻居跳跃,修改锯齿形石墨烯带的电子性质。我们讨论了我们的发现在弯曲的石墨烯带的自旋霍尔相的影响。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic properties of electrons in flat and curved zigzag graphene ribbons using a tight-binding model within the Slater Koster approximation. We find that curvature dramatically enhances the action of spin orbit effects in graphene ribbons and has a strong effect on the spin orientation of the edge states: whereas spins are normal to the surface in the case of flat ribbons, this is no longer the case in the case of curved ribbons. We find that for the edge states, the spin density lies always in the plane perpendicular to the ribbon axis, and deviate strongly from the normal to the ribbon, even for very small curvature and the small spin orbit coupling of carbon. We find that curvature results also in an effective second neighbor hopping that modifies the electronic properties of zigzag graphene ribbons. We discuss the implications of our finding in the spin Hall phase of curved graphene Ribbons.
