Our results show that the spin-metal and spin-semiconductor properties can be observed in a As NRs with different widths. We also find that there is nearly 100% bipolar spin-filtering behavior in the a As NR-based device with antiparallel spin configuration. Moreover, rectifying behavior and giant magnetoresistance are found in the device. The corresponding physical analyses have been given.展开更多
