Electrically controllable spin filtering in zigzag phosphorene nanoribbon based normal-antiferromagnet-normal junctions

We investigated the electric controllable spin-filtering effect in a zigzag phosphorene nanoribbon(ZPNR)based normal-antiferromagnet-normal junction.Two ferromagnets are closely coupled to the edges of the nanoribbon and form the edge-to-edge antiferromagnetism.Under an in-plane electric field,the two degenerate edge bands of the edge-to-edge antiferromagnet split into four spin-polarized sub-bands and a 100%spin-polarized current can be easily induced with the maximal conductance 2e2/h.The spin polarization changes with the strength of the electric field and the exchange field,and changes sign at opposite electric fields.The spin-polarized current switches from one edge to the other by reversing the direction of the electric field.The edge current can also be controlled spatially by changing the electric potential of the scattering region.The manipulation of edge current is useful in spin-transfer-torque magnetic random-access memory and provides a practical way to develop controllable spintronic devices.
