Silicene spintronics — A concise review |
(a) and (b) Schematic models of an H-passivated ZSiNR connected to two semi-infinite silicene structures. (a) The 3-ZSiNR in the AFM configuration. (b) The 4-ZSiNR in the FM configuration. Applying or removing magnetic field adjusts the ferromagnetic coupling of the two edges. The yellow (gray) balls denote silicon (hydrogen) atoms. The arrows represent spin directions on the edges. (c) I – V bias characteristics of the 5-ZSiNR at the AFM and FM configurations. (d) MRs of different-width ZSiNRs as functions of bias voltage. Reproduced with permission from Ref. [ 35 ].
