Electronic structure and transport properties of atomic NiO spinvalves
David Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier, J. J. Palacios
Ab-initio quantum transport calculations show that short NiO chains suspended in Ni nanocontacts present a very strong spin-polarization of the conductance. The generalized gradien…
Coherent transport in graphene nanoconstrictions
F. Muñoz-Rojas, D. Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier +1
We study the effect of a structural nanoconstriction on the coherent transport properties of otherwise ideal zig-zag-edged infinitely long graphene ribbons. The electronic structur…
Emergence of half-metallicity in suspended NiO chains
David Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier, J. J. Palacios
Contrary to the antiferromagnetic and insulating character of bulk NiO, one-dimensional chains of this material can become half-metallic due to the lower coordination of their atom…
