▎ 摘  要

We have theoretically investigated electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties of a graphene-diamond hybrid structure consisting of a graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges connected to diamond surfaces. From the first-principles calculation, we found that the hybrid structure is stable and that the ferro-magnetically ordered edge state appears around the graphene-diamond. On the other hand, from the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we found that the thermal conductance at the interface between the graphene and diamond is 7.01 +/- 0.05 GWm(-2) K-1 at the room temperature, which is much larger than that for covalently bonded interface between carbon nanotube and silicon. Thus, we propose that the hybrid structure is a potential candidate for spin-polarized conducting wires with thermally efficient heat sinks. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
