▎ 摘  要

The spin transport properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) hetero-junctions, in which ZGNR electrodes are doped with B or N atoms, are investigated based on spin-polarized density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function. ZGNRs are C-H2 bonded at one edge and C-H bonded at the other edge to form asymmetric edge hydrogenation. The spin-polarized currents of ZGNR-based nanodevices with an odd or even number of the zigzag-shaped chains show a perfect bipolar spin-filtering effect on parallel and anti-parallel magnetic configurations. This study provides insights into the design of high-performance graphene-based spin filters. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
