A novel doping scheme for graphene was recently realized experimentally by creating different vacancy complexes doped with a transition metal (TM) atom [nanoLett. 12, 141 (2012)]. This provides a new reliable way to modifying the electronic structure and transport property of graphene. Here, we show, by performing first-principles calculations, that the defect complex of TM@V4(a TM atom doped tetra-vacancy) in zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) can lead to a 100% spin-polarized electron transport in a wide energy range around the Fermi energy. Analyses show that this is due to the particular atomic structure of the TM@V4complex regardless of the species of the TM atom.

We theoretically study the conductance of double-vacancy zigzag graphene nanoribbons doped with Ti, V, Cr and Fe, and find that Ti doping, despite possessing small spin moment at Ti site, induces large spin-filtering with an efficiency in excess of 90% for bias voltages below 0.5 V.
