Based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function in combination with the density-functional theory, The spin-dependent transport in the short graphene nanoribbon (graphene sheet) asymmetrically coupled to the electrodes of Au chains is investigated. It is found that a fully spin-polarized current (close to 100%) can be produced at the output port. The physics underlying attributes to the spatially separated edge states of the sheet caused by asymmetric contacts. Especially, the current's spin polarized direction can be tuned simply by changing the contact locations of the electrodes to the graphene sheet.

AbstractStrain engineering has become one of the effective methods to tune the electronic structures of materials, which can be introduced into the molecular junction to induce some unique physical effects. The various γ-graphyne nanoribbons (γ-GYNRs) embedded between gold (Au) electrodes with strain controlling have been designed, involving the calculation of the spin-dependent transport properties by employing the density functional theory. Our calculated results exhibit that the presence of strain has a great effect on transport properties of molecular junctions, which can obviously enhance the coupling between the γ-GYNR and Au electrodes. We find that the current flowing through the strained nanojunction is larger than that of the unstrained one. What is more, the length and strained shape of the γ-GYNR serves as the important factors which affect the transport properties of molecular junctions. Simultaneously, the phenomenon of spin-splitting occurs after introducing strain into nanojunction, implying that strain engineering may be a new means to regulate the electron spin. Our work can provide theoretical basis for designing of high performance graphyne-based devices in the future.
