▎ 摘 要
By using first-principle calculations combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function approach, we studied the spin caloritronic properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons with a nanobubble at the edge (NB-ZGNRs). The thermal spin-polarized currents can be induced by a temperature difference, and the spin Seebeck effect is found in the nanoribbon. The spin polarization, magnetoresistance, and Seebeck coefficients are discussed, which are strongly affected and can be tuned by the geometrical strain. Moreover, some novel spin caloritronic devices are designed, such as a device that generates bidirectional perfect spin currents and thermally induced giant magnetoresistances. Our results open up the possibility of tuning the spin caloritronic properties of the NB-ZGNR-based devices by changing the elastic strain on the graphene nanobubble.
