ABSTRACT

Electronic and spin properties of chiral platinum nanotubes are calculated using the relativistic linear augmented cylindrical waves method. The spin-orbit coupling induces the strong splitting of nonrelativistic dispersion curves for the Fermi energy region. The large differences in spin densities of states for spins up and down can be used to create pure spin currents through the tubules. In the two series Pt (5, n2) and Pt (10, n2), the (5, 3) and (10, 7) nanotubes show the strongest chirality-induced spin selectivity effects.
