Spin-orbit coupling in fluorinated graphene
We report on theoretical investigations of the spin-orbit coupling effects in fluorinated graphene. First-principles density functional calculations are performed for the dense and dilute adatom coverage limits. The dense limit is represented by the single-side semifluorinated graphene, which is a metal with spin-orbit splittings of about 10 meV. To simulate the effects of a single adatom, we a...
متن کاملImpurity-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 کاملSpin-orbit coupling in hydrogenated graphene.
First-principles calculations of the spin-orbit coupling in graphene with hydrogen adatoms in dense and dilute limits are presented. The chemisorbed hydrogen induces a giant local enhancement of spin-orbit coupling due to sp(3) hybridization which depends strongly on the local lattice distortion. Guided by the reduced symmetry and the local structure of the induced dipole moments, we use group ...
متن کاملEquilibrium spin current in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
The existence of a background spin current under thermodynamic equilibrium is an interesting phenomenon in the two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). Here we study the equilibrium spin current (ESC) in graphene with RSOC. For an infinite graphene with uniform RSOC, we found that the ESC is proportional to λ(2) with λ the Rashba strength and mainly comes from the en...
متن کاملSpin–orbit coupling in a graphene bilayer and in graphite
The intrinsic spin–orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and in graphite are studied, using a tight binding model and an intra-atomic E LE S coupling. The spin–orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and graphite are larger, by about one order of magnitude, than the interactions in single-layer graphene, due to the mixing of π and σ bands by interlayer hopping. Their values are in the range 0.1...
