摘要
Electron fully spin-polarized edge states in graphene emerged at the interfaces of a nonuniform magnetic field are studied numerically in a tight-binding model, with both the orbital and Zeeman-splitting effects of magnetic field considered. We show that the fully spin-polarized currents can be manipulated by a gate voltage. In order to make use of the fully spin-polarized currents in the spin-related transport, a three-terminal experiment is designed and expected to export the fully spin-polarized currents. This may have important applications in spin-based nanodevices.
