Vacancy Defects Induced Magnetism in Armchair Graphdiyne Nanoribbon

Spin-polarized electronic and transport properties of Armchair GraphdiyneNanoribbons (A-GDYNR) with single vacancy (SV), two types of configurations fordouble vacancy (DV1, DV2) and multi vacancy (MV) defects are studied by nonequilibriumGreen’s function (NEGF) combined with density functional theory (DFT).The results demonstrate that the A-GDYNR with the SV has the lowe...

Half - metallic Armchair Graphene Nanoribbon

Submitted for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Half-metallic Armchair Graphene Nanoribbon FUMIYUKI ISHII, KEISUKE SAWADA, MINEO SAITO, Kanazawa University — Among a variety of applications of graphenes, spintronics applications are considered to be hopeful. For an example, spin transport has been experimentally observed by using graphene layers [1]. There are two types of shap...

Transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon junctions between graphene electrodes.

The transmission properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon junctions between graphene electrodes are investigated by means of first-principles quantum transport calculations. First the dependence of the transmission function on the size of the nanoribbon has been studied. Two regimes are highlighted: for a small applied bias transport takes place via tunneling and the length of the ribbon is t...

Spintronic Transport in Armchair Graphene Nanoribbon with Ferromagnetic Electrodes: Half-Metallic Properties

Utilizing first-principles theory, we demonstrate that half-metallicity can be realized in a junction composed of non-magnetic armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) and ferromagnetic Ni electrodes. The half-metallic property originates from the AGNR energy gap of the up spin located at the Fermi energy, while large electronic states are generated for the down spin. By altering the interlayer dist...
