Hydrogenated graphene nanoribbons for spintronics

Hydrogenated graphene nanoribbons for spintronics

We show how hydrogenation of graphene nanoribbons at small concentrations can open new venues towards carbon-based spintronics applications regardless of any especific edge termination or passivation of the nanoribbons. Density functional theory calculations show that an adsorbed H atom induces a spin density on the surrounding $\pi$ orbitals whose symmetry …
