▎ 摘 要
The magnetic and spin transport properties of asymmetrically hydrogenated zigzag graphene nanoribbon homojunction are studied from first-principles calculations. Due to the energy gain obtained from super-exchange interaction, antiferromagnetic coupling is preferred in the homojunction, which makes it a natural NOT gate in logic operations. Moreover, the homojunction exhibits intrinsic spin filtering effect without the need of doping. It can serve as a spin filter for spin-unpolarized current and as a rectifier for fully spin-polarized current. These characters are related to the overlaps between the electronic states of the electrodes under different bias voltages. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
