▎ 摘  要

We present first-principle spin-dependent quantum transport calculations in a molecular device constructed by one single-molecule magnet Mn(dmit)(2) and two graphene nanoribbon electrodes. Our results show that the device could generate perfect spinfiltering performance in a certain bias range both in the parallel configuration (PC) and the antiparallel configuration (APC). At the same time, a magnetoresistance effect, up to a high value of 10(3)%, can be realized. Moreover, visible negative differential resistance phenomenon is obtained for the spin-up current of the PC. These results suggest that our one-dimensional molecular device is a promising candidate for multifunctional spintronics devices. (c) 2017 Author(s).
