Mach-Zehnder interferometry using spin- and valley-polarized quantum Hall edge states in graphene

Journal Article Wei, Di S. ; van der Sar, Toeno ; Sanchez-Yamagishi, Javier D. ; ... - Science Advances

Confined to a two-dimensional plane, electrons in a strong magnetic field travel along the edge in one-dimensional quantum Hall channels that are protected against backscattering. These channels can be used as solid-state analogs of monochromatic beams of light, providing a unique platform for studying electron interference. Electron interferometry is regarded as one of the most promising routes for studying fractional and non-Abelian statistics and quantum entanglement via two-particle interference. However, creating an edge-channel interferometer in which electron-electron interactions play an important role requires a clean system and long phase coherence lengths. We realize electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometers with record visibilities ofmore »« less

Dual function armchair graphene nanoribbon-based spin-photodetector: Optical spin-valve and light helicity detector

Journal Article Ostovari, Fatemeh ; Moravvej-Farshi, Mohammad Kazem, E-mail: Farshi-k@modares.ac.ir ; Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Advanced Devices Simulation Lab - Applied Physics Letters

We show an armchair graphene nanoribbon channel connected between asymmetric ferromagnetic source-drain structure—i.e., p-type Co/Au/graphene source and n-type Co/Cu/graphene drain—can operate as dual function spin-photodetector, under zero external biases at room temperature. It can function as an optical spin-valve with magnetoresistance of greater than 60% and responsivity as high as 25.12 A/mW, when irradiated by an un-polarized light of energy ∼3.03 eV. Under a circularly polarized illumination, this optical spin-valve can also operate as a light helicity detector. The calculated magnetoresistances for right and left circularly polarized lights are both greater than 60%.

Half-metallic properties, single-spin negative differential resistance, and large single-spin Seebeck effects induced by chemical doping in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons

Journal Article Yang, Xi-Feng ; Zhou, Wen-Qian ; Hong, Xue-Kun ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Ab initio calculations combining density-functional theory and nonequilibrium Green’s function are performed to investigate the effects of either single B atom or single N atom dopant in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) with the ferromagnetic state on the spin-dependent transport properties and thermospin performances. A spin-up (spin-down) localized state near the Fermi level can be induced by these dopants, resulting in a half-metallic property with 100% negative (positive) spin polarization at the Fermi level due to the destructive quantum interference effects. In addition, the highly spin-polarized electric current in the low bias-voltage regime and single-spin negative differential resistance in the highmore »« less

Theoretical study of the vibrational edge modes in graphene nanoribbons

Journal Article Meunier, Vincent - Physical Review B

We investigate the phonon normal modes in hydrogen-terminated graphene nanoribbons GNRs using the second-generation reactive empirical bond order REBOII potential and density-functional theory calculations. We show that specific modes, absent in pristine graphene and localized at the GNR edges, are intrinsic signatures of the vibrational density of states of the GNRs. Three particular modes are described in details: a transverse phonon mode related to armchair GNRs, a hydrogen out-of-plane mode present in both armchair and zigzag GNRs, and the Raman radial-breathing-like mode. The good agreement between the frequencies of selected edge modes obtained using REBOII and first-principles methods shows themore »« less
Intrinsic spin dependent and ferromagnetic stability on edge saturated zigzag graphene-like carbon-nitride nanoribbons

Journal Article Zhang, Shuai ; Li, Chong ; Li, S. F. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Using first-principles calculations, we have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of zigzag graphene-like carbon-nitride nanoribbons (Zg-CNNRs) with mono- and dihydrogen-terminated edges asymmetrically. The results demonstrate that spin-down channel completely dominates the states adjacent Fermi level, which is an intrinsic feature and can be accounted for the valence band maximum derived from the nonbonding N-(p{sub x},p{sub y}) orbitals, instead of the bonding C/N-p{sub z} π state. Importantly, ferromagnetic ordering is found to be preferred and the magnetism is entirely localized on the N sites of saturated edge due to its stronger electronegativity. Additionally, various edge saturations are further proposed tomore »« less
