Abstract:
Based on linear response theory, we studied the spin susceptibilities of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) in an oscillating magnetic field. It is shown that by tuning the field frequency, RSOC or ribbon width to satisfy the resonance condition, the spins in AGNRs will be effectively magnetized at room temperature due to the electron transitions between RSOC-induced spin-split subbands. Moreover, in this process the magnitude of spin magnetization can also be flexibly manipulated by selecting different resonant frequency or RSOC. Thus, we provide a promisingly well-controlled scheme for the spin magnetization of AGNRs, which is useful for spintronics applications.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
