An anomalous (inverse) spin accumulation in the nonmagnetic spacer may build up when the spin valve consists of magnetic films having different spin symmetries. This leads to wavy-like dependence of spin-transfer torque on the angle between…
We report ab initio calculations of spin-dependent transport in single atomic carbon chains bridging two zigzag graphene nanoribbon electrodes. Our calculations show that carbon atomic chains coupled to graphene electrodes are perfect…
An antiferromagnetic insulating state has been found in the zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons (ZPNRs) from a comprehensive density functional theory calculations. Comparing with other one-dimensional systems, the magnetism in ZPNRs display…
Ab initio density functional theory calculations are carried out to predict the electronic properties and relative stability of gallium sulfide nanoribbons (Ga2S2-NRs) with either zigzag- or armchair-terminated edges. It is found that the…
We present a new mechanism for dissipationless persistent charge current. Two dimensional topological insulators hold dissipationless spin currents in their edges so that, for a given spin orientation, a net charge current flows which is…
Strain engineering is an important method for tuning the properties of semiconductors and has been used to improve the mobility of silicon transistors for several decades. Recently, theoretical studies have predicted that strain can also…
Zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons have quasi-flat band edge modes entirely detached from the bulk states. We analytically study the electronic transport through such edge states in the presence of a localized defect for semi-infinite and…
We study the interplay of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) and a uniform perpendicular magnetic field $\textbf{B}$ on the transport of a spin-polarized electron along a curved quantum wire. Eigenenergies and…
It is shown that, for appropriate values of electron energy, the silicene dot can work as a controllable spin polarizer. The spin polarizer can polarize the spin of transmitted electrons from nearly pure down to nearly pure up by changing…
Material systems that exhibit tunable spin-selective conductivity are key components of spintronic technologies. Here we demonstrate a novel type of spin-selective transport, based on the unusual Landau level (LL) sequence observed in…
Electronic and thermoelectric transport in zigzag monolayer WSe$_2$ nanoribbons are studied under monochromatic irradiation. The electronic structure is described within a six-orbital tight-binding framework constructed from the relevant…
We study the electronic band structure in the K/K' valleys of the Brillouin zone of monolayer WSe2 and MoSe2 by optical reflection and photoluminescence spectroscopy on dual-gated field-effect devices. Our experiment reveals the distinct…
The electronic transport properties of Janus monolayer black arsenic phosphorus (b-AsP) nanoribbons have been investigated utilizing the tight-binding approach. The dependence of electronic structure on edge structures is systematically…
We report on a theoretical study of electronic and magnetic properties of hydrogen-saturated InSe nanoribbons (H-ZISNs). Based on hybrid-functional first-principles calculations, we find that H-ZISNs exhibit tunable half-metallicity and…
A possibility of controlled manipulation of electron spin states has been investigated for a cylindrical two-dimensional electron gas confined in a semiconductor nanotube/cylindrical nanowire with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We…
We examine the electronic structure of recently fabricated in-plane heterojunctions of zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride. We focus on hitherto unexplored interface configurations in which both edges of the…
We explore the electronic structure, orbital character and topological aspect of a monolayer MoS$_2$ nanoribbon using tight-binding (TB) and low-energy (${\bm k}\cdot{\bm p} $) models. We obtain a mid-gap edge mode in the zigzag ribbon of…
The current article investigated the band structure in the presence and absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), examined the Z2 invariants, and investigated the detailed angle-dependent magneto-transport of up to 10 T (Tesla) and down to 2 K…
Quantum confinement and interference often generate exotic properties in nanostructures. One recent highlight is the experimental indication of a magnetic phase transition in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons at the critical ribbon width of…
We present a first-principles theoretical study of electric field-and strain-controlled intrinsic half-metallic properties of zigzagged aluminium nitride (AlN) nanoribbons. We show that the half-metallic property of AlN ribbons can undergo…
