All spin Logic enabled by 2D Materials

Abstract

The overarching goal of this project is to investigate the fundamental spin injection and transport properties of an ultimate form of 2D materials based all spin logic. The building blocks consist of a ferromagnetic (FM) contact electrode layer; a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layer, used as a tunable, fab friendly tunnel barrier for spin injection; and, a sub few nm thick graphene film on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate, used as a high mobility spin transport channel. The primary, specific objectives are to develop a novel magnetic tunnel barrier device that exhibits high spin injection efficiencies, conduct experiments to address the large gap that exists between the theoretical and experimental values of the spin transport parameters of graphene, and deliver an all spin logic gate prototype that integrates the highly efficient rGO based spin injector with a spin coherent transport channel (graphene).
