▎ 摘  要

We study the spin-dependent electron transport in an armchair graphene nanoribbon sample driven by both the charge and the spin biases within the tight-binding framework. By numerical calculations we give the spin-dependent currents for a fixed spin bias as a function of the charge bias. It is found that we can let only one type of spin current pass through the graphene nanoribbon for a wide range of charge bias, which is due to the difference of the bias voltage windows for different spin electrons when the charge and the spin biases coexist. Moreover, the pure spin current can be controlled via the charge bias. Our results are suggestive for developing new kinds of spin filters.
