Fully Polarized Spin Injection into Carbon Nanotubes

چکیده
Appropriately doped perovskite oxides of manganese such as La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) are ferromagnetic metals in which the conduction electrons tend to be 100% spin polarised [5]. It is therefore desirable to fabricate CNT devices with LSMO electrodes. However, to integrate these two very different material systems into a single device is challenging since their growth conditions are potentially mutually exclusive.

Observation of the triplet exciton in EuS-coated single-walled nanotubes.
Photon absorption by carbon nanotubes creates bound electron-hole pairs called excitons, which can exist in spin-polarized triplet or spin-unpolarized singlet configurations. Triplet excitons are optically inactive owing to the weak spin-orbit coupling in nanotubes. This prevents the optical injection of electron spin into nanotubes for spintronic applications and limits the efficiency of photo...
متن کاملSpin-polarized transport in carbon nanotubes
We present transport measurements of ferromagnetically contacted carbon nanotubes. In both singleand multi-walled nanotube devices, a spin valve effect is observed due to spin-polarized transport. In one single-walled nanotube device, the spin-valve effect is suppressed as the influence of Coulomb charging is observed at around 10 K. To help understand the interplay between the Coulomb charging...
متن کاملMagnetoresistance Effect in Spin-Polarized Junctions of Ferromagnetically Contacting Multiple Conductive Paths: Applications to Atomic Wires and Carbon Nanotubes
For spin-polarized junctions of ferromagnetically contacting multiple conductive paths, such as ferromagnet (FM)/atomic wires/FM and FM/carbon nanotubes/FM junctions, we theoretically investigate spin-dependent transport to elucidate the intrinsic relation between the number of paths and conduction, and to enhance the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio. When many paths are randomly located between th...
متن کاملItinerant flat-band magnetism in hydrogenated carbon nanotubes.
We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of hydrogenated carbon nanotubes using ab initio spin-polarized calculations within both the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We find that the combination of charge transfer and carbon network distortion makes the spin-polarized flat-band appear in the tube's energy gap. Various spin-depende...
متن کاملSignatures of spin-orbit interaction in transport properties of finite carbon nanotubes in a parallel magnetic field
The transport properties of finite nanotubes placed in a magnetic field parallel to their axes are investigated. Upon including spin-orbit coupling and curvature effects, two main phenomena are analyzed that crucially depend on the tube’s chirality: (i) Finite carbon nanotubes in a parallel magnetic field may present a suppression of current due to the localization at the edges of otherwise con...
