Designing of spin filter devices based on zigzag zinc oxide nanoribbon modified by edge defect |
Schematic illustration of device model: the gray region denotes the left and right electrodes, and the transport direction is in z direction. Periodic boundary conditions are applied along x and y directions, and 15-Å vacuum spacing is in x direction to avoid the interaction between adjacent layers. Gray circles indicate sites of the edge defects. Red and gray spheres represent oxygen and zinc atoms, respectively. |
