Electron-electron and spin-orbit interactions in armchair graphene ribbons.
The effects of intrinsic spin-orbit and Coulomb interactions on low-energy properties of finite width graphene armchair ribbons are studied by means of a Dirac Hamiltonian. It is shown that metallic states subsist in the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit interactions as spin-filtered edge states, in contrast with the insulating behavior predicted for graphene planes. A charge-gap opens due to Co...
متن کاملSpintronic 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...
متن کاملElectron transport through honeycomb lattice ribbons with armchair edges
We address electron transport in honeycomb lattice ribbons with armchair edges attached to two semiinfinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes within the tight-binding framework. Here we present numerically the conductance-energy and current-voltage characteristics as functions of the length and width of the ribbons. Our theoretical results predict that for a ribbon with much smaller length an...
متن کاملElectronic properties of twisted armchair graphene nanoribbons
We study the effect of twist on the electronic structure of H-terminated armchair graphene nanoribbons, for both relaxed and unrelaxed unit cell size. We investigate the band gap change as a function of the twist angle for different ribbon widths. In the case of unrelaxed unit cell size, the band gap closes for smaller twist angles as opposed to relaxed unit cell size. We calculate strain energ...
