本篇研究论文的标题为《过渡金属原子单边缘终止的之字形a-石墨烯纳米带的半金属性和自旋极化输运性质》，旨在探讨通过过渡金属原子对之字形a-石墨烯纳米带单边缘终止后所产生的半金属性和自旋极化输运性质。文章中，研究者利用非平衡格林函数方法和自旋极化密度泛函理论对具有3d过渡金属原子钝化的之字形a-石墨烯纳米带的电子输运性质进行了研究。研究结果表明，Fe、Co和Ni掺杂在纳米带边缘时会表现出半金属性。文章中所提到的3d过渡金属边缘导致之字形a-石墨烯纳米带的电流产生较大的自旋极化。此外，研究还观察到了一些有趣的现象，如半金属性、自旋极化效应和负微分电阻行为。在研究背景中提到，二维(2D)纳米材料由于其独特的电子性质和广泛的应用前景而受到广泛关注。通过吸附过渡金属(TM)来操控二维单层材料如石墨烯的物理性质是实现实际应用的一个重要挑战。研究中指出的石墨烯类似材料a-石墨烯，是一种具有新颖电子结构的二维碳同素异形体。自旋极化密度泛函理论是一种理论工具，用以分析和计算材料体系的电子结构，特别是自旋极化效应。在自旋电子学器件设计中，通过引入磁性材料或通过外部磁场控制电子的自旋取向，是实现电子输运性质调控的重要手段。本研究通过理论计算，指出了对之字形a-石墨烯纳米带的边进行特定金属原子终止是实现半金属性和高自旋极化输运的有效途径。文章中提到的之字形a-石墨烯纳米带具有特定的结构特征，其具有线性色散关系的狄拉克点，以及可以形成一维导电通道的边缘态。当掺杂特定的过渡金属原子时，这些边缘态会发生变化，从而导致材料的电子性质发生改变。特别是3d过渡金属原子的引入，能够改变电子的能量分布，为实现半金属性和自旋极化提供了可能。研究中提到的非平衡格林函数方法是一种理论模拟手段，可以用来研究有限温度下的电子输运特性，尤其是在非平衡状态下的输运行为。通过这种计算方法，研究者能够探究材料在不同电压、温度或外部磁场作用下的电子输运现象，包括电流-电压(I-V)特性曲线以及自旋相关的输运特性。负微分电阻(NDR)是电子器件中的一种特殊现象，指的是在一定的电压范围内，随着施加电压的增加，电流反而减少的现象。NDR在自旋电子器件中具有潜在的应用，例如在存储器、逻辑器件和振荡器中。研究发现，掺杂过渡金属原子后的之字形a-石墨烯纳米带中能够观察到NDR效应，这意味着掺杂后的纳米带在特定条件下能够作为有源区来实现电流调控。在实际应用层面，这篇文章的研究结果为基于之字形a-石墨烯纳米带的自旋电子学器件的自旋极化电子输运性质调控提供了一种新的思路。通过对纳米带边缘的精确修饰，可以实现对器件电流中自旋极化状态的操控，这在未来的自旋电子学和量子计算等领域具有重要的应用前景。通过自旋极化输运性质的操控，有望实现更高效率和更快响应时间的自旋电子器件。本研究论文详细探讨了过渡金属原子单边缘终止的之字形a-石墨烯纳米带在半金属性和自旋极化输运性质方面的理论特性。通过特定的理论计算方法，揭示了该材料系统中电子输运的内在机制，并讨论了其在自旋电子学器件中的潜在应用价值。这些发现为未来相关领域的研究和器件开发提供了重要的理论依据和指导。

1. Introduction

Two-dimensional (2D) nano-materials have attracted great

attentions due to their unique electronic properties and wide

range of promising technological utilizations [1 e4]. Manipulating

the physical properties of 2D monolayer sheets such as graphene

through adsorbing transition metal (TM) is an important ch al-

lenge for realizing their application i n spintronics and nano-

electronics [5e9]. Graphene exhibits m any remarkable propert ies

[10,11], such as Dirac cone [12], high carrier mobility at room

temperature [13], Quantum spin Hall effect [14], and many other

novel phenomena and e lectronic properties [15]. Graphene has

also been extensively explored for inducing electronic spin po-

larization by chemical functionalization and doping [16e19].

However, the gapless band structure of graphene limits its

application in electron ic devices. Recently, graphyne, a nano ma-

terial isostructural graphene, has ignited substantial interests

owing to their extraordinary electroni c, optical, and structural

properties [20,21].

Although a single sheet of graphyne has still not been available,

it is a highly challenging task now. Nevertheless, in 2010, large

area ﬁlms (~3.6 cm

) of graphdiyne (an allotrope of graphyne)

have b een successfully fabricated on a copper surface by a cross

cou pling reaction using hexaethynylbenzene [22], which is a big

step towards the preparation of graphynes, and encouraging

continuous effort for more extended struc tures. Graphyne is

composed of sp- and sp

-hybri zed ca rbon atoms, which can pro-

vid e an extra ﬂexibility in modulation of its structure. Unlike

graphene , graphyne is a semiconductor with a narrow ban d gap,

which may provide a golden opportunity to use them in electronic

device [23,24]. Graphyne has many allotropes such as

-graphyne,

-graphyne, and graphdiyne [25,26] .Andthetheo-

retical researches have been demonstrated that these graphynes

are assumed to be chemically stable [27]. Malko et al. found that

-graphyne is a new di rac cone material, which electronic p rop-

erties of

-graphyne is quite similar to that of graphene [28,29].

Similar to graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), the

-graphyne can also

be tailored into nanoribbons, and can be mainly classiﬁed into two

types: zigzag

-graphyne nanoribbons (Z

GyNRs) and armchair

-graphyne nanoribbons (A

GyNRs). All of A

GyNRs are

nonmagnetic, and the band gap oscillates with a period of three

when the ribbon width increases [30], while the Z

GyNRs have a

stable antiferromagnetic conﬁguration [31]. Yue et al. demon-

strated the bipolar spin-ﬁltering effect in the symmetric Z

GyNRs,

and found the 100% spin-polarized current can be produced and

modulated by the direction of bi as voltage and/or magnetization

conﬁguration of the electrodes [32].

To expand its practical applicati on in spintronics, doping

graphyne nanoribbons with 3d transition-metal atoms has been

considered as an effective way [33e35]. He et al. found tha t the

adsorption of 3d tran sition-metal atom not only efﬁciently mod-

ulates the elect ronic structures of graphyne, but also introduces

excellent magnetic properti es [36]. Since previous calculations

have indicated that the edge states have a signiﬁcant effect on the

nanoribbons' electronic and magnetic properties [16] ,inthispa-

per we mainly focus on the effects of 3d transition terminated

atoms doping on the s ingle-edge-passivated Z

GyNRs. From ﬁrst

principal method, the sp in-dependent transport properties of Fe-,

Co- and Ni-passivated Z

GyNRs are calculated, and we suggest a

route to manipulate spin current and design the spintronics

devices.

2. Model and method

The structural optimizations and spin-dependent t ransport

properties are performed by the Atomistix ToolKit (ATK) package

[37,38], which is based on the spin density functional theory (DFT)

and the fully self-cons istent non-equilibrium Green's function

(NEGF) method. The local spin density approximation (LSDA) is

employed for the exchange-correlation potential. The wave

functions of all the atoms are expanded by double-zeta pola rized

basis set. The real space grid technique is used with the en ergy

cutoff of 200 Ry as the required cutoff energy in numerical in-

tegrations. The k-point sampling 1, 1, and 100 are used in t he x, y, z

direction, respectively, where z is the direction of electron trans-

port. A vacuum layer of 16 Å is added in x and y di rections to avoid

the interaction between adja cent ribbons . The electronic states of

the electrodes are obtained from a st andard bulk ca lculation. The

basis set is a dopted for elements of systems and the convergence

criterion for the total energy is 10

5

Ry to achieve a balance be-

tween calcul ation efﬁciency and accuracy. The electron temper-

ature is set to 300 K. The geometrical structures are fully

optimized in the presence of the two-leads until the residual force

on each atom is smaller than 0.01 eV/Å. The spin-polarized cur-

rent through the s ystem is calculated using the Land auer-Büttiker

formula [3 9],

3. Results and discussions

The Z

GNRs are originally obtained by cutting a 2D

-graphyne

along zigzag direction, and the edge carbon atoms are passivated by

single-H atoms to remove the dangling bonds. The studied models

are shown in Fig.1. The blue shade areas are presented the electrode

repeat units. Considering the electronic properties of Z

GyNRs [30]

and the calculated amount, the ribbon widths of 4 (about 2.5 nm)

have been chosen, and both edges are passivated by single-H atoms,

denoted as H-4Z

GyNRs-H, short for M1, as shown in Fig. 1(a). In

order to realize the spin-polarization in H-4Z

GyNRs-H, we also

adopt 3d transition-metal atoms (Fe, Co and Ni) to substitute the H

atoms on one edge as Fe-4Z

GyNRs-H, Co-4Z

GyNRs-H and

Ni-4Z

GyNRs-H as shown in Fig. 1(bed), for convenience, we

labeled them as M2, M3, and M4, respectively. Take M1 for example,

the corresponding device structure is shown in Fig. 1(e), which

consists of three parts: the left electrode, the center scattering re-

gion, and the right electrode. It is noted that the electrodes and the

contact between graphyne and the electrodes have crucial in-

ﬂuences on the spin-polarized electronic transport properties of the

GyNRs. Nevertheless, the contact between graphyne and the

electrodes is very complex in real practices, we thus just only

considered the internal electronic transport properties in Z

GyNRs

and a supercell of Z

GyNRs has been taken as electrode in our

calculations.
