Abstract
Theoretical and numerical modeling of a graphene-based spin-filter spintronic with Fermi velocity engineering are investigated. These graphene-based spintronic devices will open up new ways for creating a new generation of electronic devices which are smaller, faster and consumes less electric power. The spin filtering is a key issue for spintronic applications. The influence of velocity barrier (VB) on the spin transport of massless Dirac particles in ferromagnetic graphene are theoretically studied in a NG/FG/VB/NG junction. It consists of a ferromagnetic graphene region (FG) which is deposited by metallic gate and the velocity barrier is located on the left side of the ferromagnetic graphene where the propagation of massless Dirac fermion through a VB region of graphene with a position-dependent velocity. By biasing the FG region with the gate voltage (U), spin conductance is oscillating as function of Fermi velocity and its phase is shifted by varying U on ferromagnetic graphene. This system may be used as a tunable spin-polarized source.
