  • Title: Graphene nanoring as a tunable source of polarized electrons.
    Author: Munárriz J, Domínguez-Adame F, Orellana PA, Malyshev AV.
    Journal: Nanotechnology; 2012 May 25; 23(20):205202. PubMed ID: 22543955.
    Abstract:
    We propose a novel spin filter based on a graphene nanoring fabricated above a ferromagnetic strip. The exchange interaction between the magnetic moments of the ions in the ferromagnet and the electron spin splits the electronic states, and gives rise to spin polarization of the conductance and the total electric current. We demonstrate that both the current and its polarization can be controlled by a side-gate voltage. This opens the possibility to use the proposed device as a tunable source of polarized electrons.
