Abstract
By combining non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) with density functional theory (DFT), we systematically study the spin-related transport properties of the heterostructures composed of graphene and hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) when the metal Fe is doped different positions of the heterostructures interface. The results show that the heterostructures exhibit obvious spin-filtering effect (SFE) and negative differential resistance (NDR) due to the different absorbing positions of the metal Fe. And the spin filtering ratio can reach more than 90% in a specific bias voltage range. Moreover, spin-rectifying behaviors are detected in the heterostructures. Whether it is for the design of multifunctional devices or the synthesis of spintronic devices, these findings will have some reference value.
