Spin density waves in periodically strained graphene nanoribbons.
Zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) are antiferromagnetic in the ground state with zero net magnetization due to the compensation of contributions from opposite edges. Uniform deformations (both shear and axial) do not produce magnetization due to symmetry restrictions. However, we report the results of first-principles calculations that predict the induction of spin density waves (SDWs) in ZGN...
متن کاملSpin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake embedded between two armchair nanoribbons electrodes
We study the coherent spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake (ZGF), using Hubbard model in the nearest neighbor approximation within the framework of the Green function’s technique and Landauer formalism. The system considered consists of electrode/ (ZGF)/electrode, in which the electrodes are chosen to be armchair nanoribbons. The study was performed for two types of ele...

متن کاملSpin Filtering in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons Using 7-5 Defects
Electrons carry both charge and spin. The processing of information in conventional electronic devices is based only on the electronic charge. Spin electronics, or spintronics, uses the spin of electrons as another degree of freedom [1]. Materials with zero band gap form the basis for spintronic devices and show superior performance in comparison with non-zero band gap materials [1]. Graphene, ...
متن کاملSpin-valve effect in zigzag graphene nanoribbons by defect engineering
We report on the possibility for a spin-valve effect driven by edge defect engineering of zigzag graphene nanoribbons. Based on a mean-field spin-unrestricted Hubbard model, electronic band structures and conductance profiles are derived, using a self-consistent scheme to include gate-induced charge density. The use of an external gate is found to trigger a semiconductor-metal transition in cle...
