Spin-Filtering Effects in Würtzite and Graphite-Like AlN Nanowires with Mn Impurities
Spin transport properties of magnetic nanowire systems—atomic-sized AlN nanowires with additional Mn impurities—are investigated employing ab initio constrained spin density functional theory calculations and nonequilibrium Green’s functions formalism. The analyzed nanowire structures exhibit a stre...
