▎ 摘  要

In this work, using the single-band Hubbard model, we numerically study the magnetic ordering in zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs). We calculate density of states and charge density distribution in the ZGNR, and show the nontrivial behavior of its electronic band structure in the presence of an external transverse electric field. Then, the robustness of such edge magnetic ordering and consequent half-metallicity is investigated for nanoribbons defected with single-atom vacancies. Our results show that the nontrivial magnetic properties of ZGNRs are robust to an acceptable percentage of single atom vacancies.
