Questions about Initial state and Ferromagnetic
« on: March 8, 2020, 08:53 »
Hi Sir,

Currently, I'm studying graphene (AGNR)  based spin logic gates. Im using this paper as a guide for me, here is the link https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3562320 . I know i want to study AGNR, but since the paper is using ZGNR, i also want to know ZGNR. Thefore, i have a few questions to ask. Please i really need your help and guidance  :(

1. To set the magnetization, i need to set it using Initial state right? I have been followed these two tutorials
https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/fe_mgo_fe/fe_mgo_fe.html  and https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/transmission_atomic_chain/transmission_atomic_chain.html.

Right now, im focusing to get the NOT logic gate first. To get NOT logic gate, i need to set the magnetic configuration to [1,0] where the magnetization of left electrode is set to 1 and right electrode is set to 0 (non-magnetic). Both electrodes contain elements of carbon and hydrogen.I have tried it, but i didnt get the same results like the paper have obtained.

This is some of the scripts i have done;

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Two-probe Configuration
# -------------------------------------------------------------

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Left Electrode
# -------------------------------------------------------------

# Set up lattice
vector_a = [10.0, 0.0, 0.0]*Angstrom
vector_b = [0.0, 17.1043, 0.0]*Angstrom
vector_c = [0.0, 0.0, 4.92200342]*Angstrom
left_electrode_lattice = UnitCell(vector_a, vector_b, vector_c)

# Define elements
left_electrode_elements = [Hydrogen, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Hydrogen, Carbon, Carbon,
                           Carbon, Carbon, Hydrogen, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Hydrogen,
                           Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon]


# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Initial State
# -------------------------------------------------------------
initial_spin = InitialSpin(scaled_spins=[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0])
device_configuration.setCalculator(
    calculator,
    initial_spin=initial_spin,


2. Next, do i need to setup ferromagnetic configuration? Since I'm using fully ZGNR where the elements are only carbon and hydrogen. 
Due to this info https://www.doitpoms.ac.uk/tlplib/ferromagnetic/printall.php, the periodic table shows both carbon and hydrogen are diamagnetic.
 
In this paper https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3562320 , it didn't mention anything about ferromagnetic.


I hope someone can reply this and help me.
