Abstract
Using nonequilibrium Green's function in combination with the density functional theory, we investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of three silicene-based heterojunctions. The calculated results show that the heterojunctions are promising multifunctional devices in spintronics due to their nearly perfect bipolar spin-filter effect and high rectification ratio. Also shown are the obvious negative differential resistance behaviors for both spin channels. By analyzing the spin-resolved transmission spectra and the band structure of ZSiNR electrodes, as well as the spatial resolved local density of states, the mechanisms for these intriguing properties are demonstrated in detail.
