Abstract
Abstract Using density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function method, we investigated the spin-dependent transport and spin-polarized optoelectronic properties of the 6,6,12-graphyne-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices. The results show that the MTJ devices have prominent dual spin-filtering effect and large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR); the TMR values of the MTJ devices are as high as 105%. In addition, we found that the spin-polarized photocurrents of the MTJ devices are dependent on the polarization direction of light and the magnetization directions of the electrodes. Two spin-polarized photocurrents can be realized in the MTJ devices and, if the magnetization directions of the two electrodes are antiparallel, the two light-generated spins flow in opposite directions. These interesting phenomena indicate that the 6,6,12-graphyne-based MTJ devices could be used as optoelectronic or opto-spintronic devices.
