Computational Study of Metal-Free Magnetism and Spin-Dependent Seebeck Effect in Silicene Nanoribbons with Zigzag and Klein Edges by Xingyi Tan, Gang Xu, Youchang Jiang, Dahua Ren

“…With the increase of the width parameter N from 4 to 19, the N-ZKSiNRs pass from the indirect-gap bipolar magnetic semiconducting state (BMS) to the bipolar spin-gapless semiconductor (BSGS) and eventually to half-metallicity (HM). Moreover, applying a temperature gradient through the nanoribbons leads to spin-dependent current with the opposite flowing and spin orientations, demonstrating the spin-dependent Seebeck effect (SDSE). …”
