Abstract

The magnetic and spin dependent transport properties of asymmetrically hydrogenated zigzag graphene nanoribbons, which are C–H2 bonded at one edge while C–H bonded at the other, are investigated from first-principles calculations. Due to their special distributions of the density of states near Fermi level, a perfect (100%) spin filtering effect can be achieved in such graphene nanoribbons through p-type or n-type doping. Moreover, a negative differential resistance effect is observed in both doping case, which results from the reducing of conductance near Fermi level with increasing bias voltage.
