Impurity-induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene.
We study the effect of impurities in inducing spin-orbit coupling in graphene. We show that the sp3 distortion induced by an impurity can lead to a large increase in the spin-orbit coupling with a value comparable to the one found in diamond and other zinc-blende semiconductors. The spin-flip scattering produced by the impurity leads to spin scattering lengths of the order found in recent exper...
متن کاملImpurity-Induced Bound States in Superconductors with Spin-Orbit Coupling.
We study the effect of strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on bound states induced by impurities in superconductors. The presence of SOC breaks the SU(2)-spin symmetry and causes the superconducting order parameter to have generically both singlet (s-wave) and triplet (p-wave) components. We find that in the presence of SOC the spectrum of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states is qualitatively different i...
متن کاملSpin-filtered edge states and quantum Hall effect in graphene.
Electron edge states in graphene in the quantum Hall effect regime can carry both charge and spin. We show that spin splitting of the zeroth Landau level gives rise to counterpropagating modes with opposite spin polarization. These chiral spin modes lead to a rich variety of spin current states, depending on the spin-flip rate. A method to control the latter locally is proposed. We estimate Zee...
متن کاملLandau levels and edge states in graphene with strong spin-orbit coupling
We investigate the electronic properties of graphene in a magnetic and a strain-induced pseudo-magnetic field in the presence of strong spin-orbit interactions (SOI). For a homogeneous field we provide analytical results for the Landau level eigenstates for arbitrary intrinsic and Rashba SOI, including also the effect of a Zeeman field. We then study the edge states in a semi-infinite geometry ...
