Spin-Dependent Phenomena in Graphene
Abstract
Graphene is attractive for spintronics due to spin transport at room temperature with long spin diffusion lengths. During this grant period, two important aspects have been investigated: (1) Spin injection and transport in graphene, (2) Spin and charge transport in doped graphene. Main results include the first demonstration of tunneling spin injection into graphene, identification of contact effects as a major source of spin relaxation, realization of high spin injection efficiency, long spin lifetimes in bilayer graphene, the first in-situ transport study of transition metal doping of graphene including studies on graphene spin valves. These results have been at the forefront of graphene spintronics.
