▎ 摘  要

By using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism in combination with the density functional theory, we have investigated the spin transport properties of a 4H-TAHDI-based multifunctional spintronic device constructed by contacting a 4H-TAHDI molecule with two ferromagnetic zigzag-edge graphene nanoribbon electrodes. The results show that perfect giant magnetoresistance, spin-filtering, bipolar spin-rectifying, and negative differential resistance effects can be realized simultaneously. The mechanisms were proposed for these interesting phenomena. Our results demonstrate that this system holds promise in the design of a high-performance multifunctional single-molecule spintronic device.
