Modulating the spin transport behaviors in ZBNCNRs by edge hydrogenation and position of BN chain
Using the density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green’s function method, we study the spin transport behaviors in zigzag boron-nitrogen-carbon nanoribbons (ZBNCNRs) by modulating the edge hydrogenation and the position of B-N nanoribbons (BNNRs) chain. The different edge hydrogenations of...

Zusammenfassung: | Using the density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green’s function method, we study the spin transport behaviors in zigzag boron-nitrogen-carbon nanoribbons (ZBNCNRs) by modulating the edge hydrogenation and the position of B-N nanoribbons (BNNRs) chain. The different edge hydrogenations of the ZBNCNRs and the different position relationships of the BNNRs have been considered systematically. Our results show that the metallic, semimetallic and semiconductive properties of the ZBNCNRs can be modulated by the different edge hydrogenations and different position relationships of BN chains. And our proposaled ZBNCNRs devices act as perfect spin-filters with nearly 100% spin polarization. These effects would have potential applications for boron-nitrogen-carbon-based nanomaterials in spintronics nano-devices. |
