Graphene valley filter using a line defect.
With its two degenerate valleys at the Fermi level, the band structure of graphene provides the opportunity to develop unconventional electronic applications. Herein, we show that electron and hole quasiparticles in graphene can be filtered according to which valley they occupy without the need to introduce confinement. The proposed valley filter is based on scattering off a recently observed l...

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...

متن کاملMolecular electrostatic potentials by systematic molecular fragmentation.
A simple method is presented for estimating the molecular electrostatic potential in and around molecules using systematic molecular fragmentation. This approach estimates the potential directly from the electron density. The accuracy of the method is established for a set of organic molecules and ions. The utility of the approach is demonstrated by estimating the binding energy of a water mole...
