The classical and quantum dynamics of molecular spins on graphene
Controlling the dynamics of spins on surfaces is pivotal to the design of spintronic and quantum computing devices. Proposed schemes involve the interaction of spins with graphene to enable surface-state spintronics and electrical spin manipulation. However, the influence of the graphene environment on the spin systems has yet to be unravelled. Here we explore the spin-graphene interaction by s...
متن کاملQuantum anomalous Hall effect in single-layer and bilayer graphene
The quantum anomalous Hall effect can occur in singleand few-layer graphene systems that have both exchange fields and spin-orbit coupling. In this paper, we present a study of the quantum anomalous Hall effect in single-layer and gated bilayer graphene systems with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We compute Berry curvatures at each valley point and find that for single-layer graphene the Hall cond...
متن کاملSpin Dependent Scattering in Graphene Systems: From Impurity Characterization to Birefringent Electron Optics
An important effect on the dynamics of spins in materials is the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), which reflects/arises from intrinsic lack of inversion symmetry in the lattice structure, or via broken symmetries in the system due to external or interfacial fields (Rashba interaction). Although intrinsic SOI is weak in graphene, the Rashba SOI can in fact be large due to strong local hybridization...
متن کاملProximity-induced ferromagnetism in graphene revealed by the anomalous Hall effect.
We demonstrate the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in single-layer graphene exchange coupled to an atomically flat yttrium iron garnet (YIG) ferromagnetic thin film. The anomalous Hall conductance has magnitude of ∼0.09(2e(2)/h) at low temperatures and is measurable up to ∼300 K. Our observations indicate not only proximity-induced ferromagnetism in graphene/YIG with a large exchange interaction, ...
متن کاملSpin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake embedded between two armchair nanoribbons electrodes
We study the coherent spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake (ZGF), using Hubbard model in the nearest neighbor approximation within the framework of the Green function’s technique and Landauer formalism. The system considered consists of electrode/ (ZGF)/electrode, in which the electrodes are chosen to be armchair nanoribbons. The study was performed for two types of ele...
