Abstract: In the present work we propose that a one-dimensional quantum heterostructure composed of magnetic and non-magnetic atomic sites can be utilized as a spin filter for a wide range of applied bias voltage. A simple tight-binding framework is given to describe the conducting junction where the heterostructure is coupled to two semi-infinite one-dimensional non-magnetic electrodes. Based on transfer matrix method all the calculations are performed numerically which describe two-terminal spin dependent transmission probability along with junction current through the wire. Our detailed analysis may provide fundamental aspects of selective spin transport phenomena in one-dimensional heterostructures at nano-scale level.
