(color online) Spin-dependent conductance GLRα versus Fermi level EF in the ZSR ferromagnetic junction for (a) parallel magnetization θ = 0, and (b) antiparallel magnetization θ = π. (c) and (d) GLR↓ versus EF for different even–odd chain number N, disordered lattice potential strength w, and effective spin–orbit coupling λso in the antiparallel magnetized ZSR junction, respectively. The perpendicular staggered potential ΔC = 0 eV.
