Heterospin Junctions in Zigzag-Edged Graphene Nanoribbons

Heterospin Junctions in Zigzag-Edged Graphene Nanoribbons

We propose a graphene nanoribbon-based heterojunction, where a defect-free interface separates two zigzag graphene nanoribbons prepared in opposite antiferromagnetic spin configurations. This heterospin junction is found to allow the redirecting of low-energy electrons from one edge to the other. Th...
