In order to develop low-power-consumption electronic devices, we studied a heterojunction composed of a 5,4-sawtooth graphene nanoribbon and 6,6,12-graphyne nanoribbon by using first-principles calculations combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function approach. Some spin caloritronic and spintronic devices can be realized based on the heterojunction, exhibiting excellent and multifunctional properties: a net spin current and perfect spin Seebeck effect are generated, a thermal induced and bias induced colossal magnetoresistance is obtained, and a spin filter with 100% spin polarization and a spin rectification with a high rectification ratio are acquired. Our results indicate that the proposed heterojunction is a promising candidate for multi-effect and low-power-consumption electronic devices.
