On the basis of first-principles computational approaches, we present a new method to drive zigzag graphene nanoribons (ZGNRs) into the half-metallic state using a ferroelectric material, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). Owing to strong dipole moments of PVDFs, the ground state of the ZGNR becomes half-metallic when a critical coverage of PVDFs is achieved on the ZGNR. Since ferroelectric polymers are physisorbed, the direction of the dipole field in PVDFs can be rotated by relatively small external electric fields, and the switching between half-metallic and insulating states may be achieved. Our results suggest that, without excessively large external gate electric fields, half-metallic states of ZGNRs are realizable through the deposition of ferroelectric polymers and their electronic and magnetic properties are controllable via noninvasive mutual interactions.
