Impossibility of Increasing N$\acute{\textrm{e}}$el Temperature in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbon by Electric Field and Carrier Doping

Abstract

We investigated the dependence of N$\acute{\textrm{e}}$el temperature as a critical temperature on the electric field and hole-electron doping in the antiferromagnetically ordered zigzag graphene nanoribbon. The temperature was calculated by averaging the magnon energy in the Brillouin zone within the mean-field approximation. We employed the generalized Bloch theorem instead of the supercell approach to reduce the computational cost significantly to obtain the magnon spectrum. We showed that the N$\acute{\textrm{e}}$el temperature reduces when increasing both the electric field and the hole-electron doping, thus these treatments will never enhance the N$\acute{\textrm{e}}$el temperature.
