Spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) with Dirac-like band crossings may exhibit massless fermions and dissipationless transport properties. In this study, by applying the density functional theory, novel multiple linear-type spin-gapless semiconducting band structures were found in a synthesized R 3 - c -type bulk PdF compound, which has potential applications in ultra-fast and ultra-low power spintronic devices. The effects of spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb interaction were determined for the bulk material in this study. To explore the potential applications in spintronic devices, we also performed first-principles combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function for the PdF/GaO/PdF magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The results suggested that this MTJ exhibits perfect spin filtering and high tunnel magnetoresistance (~5.04 × 10).
具有类狄拉克能带交叉的自旋无隙半导体(SGSs)可能表现出无质量费米子和无耗散输运特性。在本研究中,通过应用密度泛函理论,在合成的R 3 - c型块状PdF化合物中发现了新型的多重线性型自旋无隙半导体能带结构,其在超快和超低功耗自旋电子器件中具有潜在应用。本研究确定了自旋轨道耦合和在位库仑相互作用对块状材料的影响。为了探索在自旋电子器件中的潜在应用,我们还对PdF/GaO/PdF磁性隧道结(MTJ)进行了结合非平衡格林函数的第一性原理计算。结果表明,该MTJ表现出完美的自旋过滤和高隧道磁电阻(~5.04 × 10)。
