Abstract

By combining the density functional theory with non-equilibrium Green's function method, we theoretically design and investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of two molecular magnetic tunnel junctions (MMTJs) with the AsFNRs embedded in zigzag graphene nanoribbons in parallel and antiparallel spin configurations. The findings reveal that the MMTJs have distinct transport characteristics depending upon the orientations of the AsFNRs. Changing the spin configurations leads to two different net spin currents, and the maximal order of the tunneling magnetoresistance magnitude can reach 107%. In addition, a negative differential resistance (NDR) effect is found in our MMTJs. Our findings provide suitable candidates of MMTJs for the future spintronic devices.
