This heterostructure consists of hydrogen-terminated ZGNR (ZGNR-H) and oxygen-terminated ZGNR (ZGNR-O). We find that both charge and spin transport can be well controlled with the ZGNR-H/ZGNR-O heterostructure. A large charge transmission gap appears near the Fermi energy, and rectification behavior is observed. Moreover, the ZGNR-H/ZGNR-O heterostructure can act as a perfect bipolar spin filter or magnetoresistance device. Our results show that the ZGNR-H/ZGNR-O heterostructure hold promise for combining magnetoelectronics and conventional charge-based electronics. © 2011 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Applied Physics Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/55285 | ISSN: | 00036951 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.3549154 |
