Photogalvanic effect induced fully spin polarized current and pure spin current in zigzag SiC nanoribbons
Literature Information
Jian Wang
Using nonequilibrium Green's function combined with density functional theory, we investigate the spin-related current generated by the photogalvanic effect (PGE) in monolayer zigzag SiC nanoribbons (ZSiCNRs) by first-principles calculations. Due to its unique atomic structure and band structure properties, we find that 100% spin polarized photocurrent can be easily obtained in a wide range of photon energies by shining linearly/circularly polarized light when ZSiCNRs are in the anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) state. In comparison, when the ZSiCNRs are in the ferromagnetic (FM) state, the spin polarization of photocurrent can vary from 0% to 100% by changing the photon energy or polarization angle. More interestingly, pure spin current can also be generated by changing the circular polarization angle in the FM state. Thus, by properly tuning the photon energy, one can obtain 100% spin polarized current regardless of its magnetic configuration and pure spin current in its FM state. Our numerical findings pave a feasible way for ZSiCNRs’ novel applications in spintronics.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
