▎ 摘　　要

This contribution reports on charge and spin transport through graphene nanoribbons (GrNs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The paper focuses on the giant magnetoresistance effect in these materials, and their potential usefulness for spintronic applications. As examples, the following devices are shortly discussed: GrNs in the ballistic transport regime, a CNT-based Schottky-barrier field effect transistor (CNT SB-FET), as well as CNT quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade limit.
