Perfect Spin Filter in a Tailored Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbon

Abstract Zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) are expected to serve as the promising component in the all-carbon spintronic device. It remains challenging to fabricate a device based on ZGNRs with high spin-filter efficiency and low experimental complexity. Using density functional theory combined wi...
