Abstract
We show that periodically folded graphene sheets with enhanced spin-orbit interaction due to curvature effects can carry spin polarized currents and have gaps in the electronic spectrum in the presence of weak magnetic fields. Our results indicate that such origami-like structures can be used efficiently in spintronic applications.
