Abstract
The present study is conducted to evaluate the spin polarization in two pyrene and Triphenylene graphene nanoflakes. All calculations are performed using non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. The obtained results show that, graphene has no magnetic property and using Pyrene nanoflake results in a better spin switching at extreme magnetic fields. On the contrary, when applying magnetized electrodes, depending on the direction of magnetization of the two electrodes (either parallel or anti-parallel), different spin polarization diagrams are obtained. In this situation, it is observed that, in the case of electrodes magnetization in Triphenylene nanoflake a better spin switching is reached.
