Switching, dual spin-filtering effects, and negative differential resistance in a carbon-based molecular device

We present ab initio calculations for spin-dependent electron transport in a molecular device constructed by two carbon chains capped with a phenyl ring, which is sandwiched between two zig-zag-edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) electrodes, where the ZGNRs are modulated by external magnetic field. The...
