Spin filtering and rectifying behaviors in the super narrow borophene nanoribbon heterojunctions
By using density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green’s function method, we explore the spin-resolved transport properties of three super narrow borophene nanoribbon heterojunctions. Results show that significant spin-filtering behavior with 86% spin polarization and rectifying behavior with high rectification ratios over 103 can be realized in a specific heterostructure. The underlying mechanisms are elucidated by analyzing the spin resolved band structures, electronic orbital resolved fat band structures, transmission spectra, Bloch wave functions and transmission eigenstates. It is found that the alignment of the subbands in two electrodes under biases and the symmetry of Bloch wave functions of subbands play crucial roles in determining these interesting physical phenomena. This study provides theoretical insights and guidance for the design of high-performance multifunctional spintronic devices utilizing super narrow borophene nanoribbons.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
