▎ 摘  要

The nonequilibrium time-dependent fluctuations of charge current have recently emerged as a sensitive experimental tool to probe ballistic transport through evanescent wave functions introduced into clean, wide, and short graphene strips by the attached metallic electrodes. We demonstrate that such "pseudodiffusive" shot noise can be substantially modified in zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) due to the topology of its edges responsible for localized states that facilitate ferromagnetic ordering along the edge when Coulomb interaction is taken into account. Thus, the shot noise enhancement of unpolarized and even more sensitively of spin-polarized charge currents injected into ZGNR will act as an all-electrical and edge-sensitive probe of such low-dimensional magnetism.
