We propose the perfect all-carbon axisymmetric spintronic devices consisting of a zigzag-edged trigonal graphene (ZTG) linked to left and right zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) electrodes via carbon atomic chains (CACs). To ensure the stability of the system, the edge carbon atoms are passiv...
