▎ 摘  要

The spin-dependent electronic transport properties of heterojunction constructed by bare zigzag graphene nanoribbon and hexagonal boron nitride nanoribbon are investigated by the non-equilibrium Green's function method in combination with the density functional theory. The results show that the giant magnetoresistance effect can be realized in the heterojunction, and the magnetoresistance ratio can reach to 10(6). Moreover, it is found that the heterojunction is a good spin-filtering device with nearly 100% spin filtering efficiency at a wide bias voltage region in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic magnetic configurations.
