Graphite and Graphene as Perfect Spin Filters
Volodymyr Karpan,Gianluca Giovannetti,Gianluca Giovannetti,Petr Khomyakov,M. Talanana,A.A. Starikov,M. Zwierzycki,J. van den Brink,J. van den Brink,Geert Brocks,Paul J. Kelly +10 more
TL;DR: Based on the observations that their in-plane lattice constants match almost perfectly and their electronic structures overlap in reciprocal space for one spin direction only, the authors predict perfect spin filtering for interfaces between graphite and (111) fcc or (0001) hcp Ni or Co.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical prediction of perfect spin filtering at interfaces between close-packed surfaces of Ni or Co and graphite or graphene
Volodymyr Karpan,Petr Khomyakov,A.A. Starikov,Gianluca Giovannetti,Gianluca Giovannetti,M. Zwierzycki,M. Talanana,Geert Brocks,J.E. van den Brink,J.E. van den Brink,Paul J. Kelly +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spin filtering properties of spin-injection interfaces between transition metals and semiconductors have been investigated and it was shown that spin filtering is quite insensitive to amounts of interface roughness and disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles scattering matrices for spin transport
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient formalism for calculating transmission and reflection matrices from first principles in layered materials is presented. But it is only applicable to Co/Cu multilayers and single interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculating scattering matrices by wave function matching
M. Zwierzycki,Petr Khomyakov,A.A. Starikov,Ke Xia,M. Talanana,P. X. Xu,Volodymyr Karpan,I. Marushchenko,Ilja Turek,Gerrit E. W. Bauer,Geert Brocks,Paul J. Kelly +11 more
TL;DR: Wave function matching (WFM) as mentioned in this paper is a transparent technique for calculating transmission and reflection matrices for any Hamiltonian that can be represented in tight-binding form, such as a localized orbital basis or on a real space grid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orientation-dependent transparency of metallic interfaces.
TL;DR: Quite remarkably, the largest anisotropy is predicted for interfaces between the prototype free-electron materials silver and aluminum, for which a massive factor of 2 difference between (111) and (001) interfaces is found.
