Prefect spin filtering and spin inverting using a MoS2 quantum dot

Abstract

The spin-dependent conductance and spin-polarization of a MoS2 quantum dot are studied in presence (absent) of an external electric field perpendicular to the molybdenum plane. It is shown that in absence of the electric field, the deformation of a MoS2 ribbon structure causes spin-splitting in the dot and non-prefect spin filtering is seen. Therefore, the technique could be used for designing spin-dependent devices of MoS2. Also, we show that the device could behave as a prefect spin filter and spin inverter under applying an external electric.
