Abstract: C1.00257 : Half-Metallic Sandwich Molecular Wires with Negative Differential Resistance and Sign-Reversible High Spin-filter Efficiency
Author:
Using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's
function method,
we construct organometallic nanowires that consist of Fe or V atoms
sandwiched between composite molecules (Cp$^{\ast }$FeCp$^{\ast
}$, where
Cp$^{\ast }$ is C$_{5}$(CH$_{3})_{5})$. For the first time, we
demonstrate
that half-metallicity, negative differential resistance, and
sign-reversible
high spin-filter capability can coexist remarkably in one
organometallic
nanowire (FeCp$^{\ast }$ wire). This renders FeCp$^{\ast }$ wire
promising
in electronics and spintronics.
