摘要: In this study, we investigated the spin-resolved transport aspects of step-like zigzag graphene ribbons (ZGNRs) with single or double edge-saturated hydrogen using a method that combined density functional theory nonequilibrium Green’s function under local spin approximation. We found that, when ZGNR-based heterojunctions were in parallel antiparallel layout, negative differential resistance, maximum bipolar spin-filtering, and spin-rectifying effects occurred synchronously except for case spin-down electrons magnetic layouts. Interestingly, these properties almost unaffected by altering widths two component ribbons. Therefore, ZGNR are promising use designing high-performance multifunctional spintronic devices.
