Abstract
Spintronics involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. The fascinating spin-resolved properties of graphene motivate numerous researchers into the studies of spintronics in graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials. Silicene, silicon analog of graphene, is considered as a promising material for spintronics. Here, we present a review on the theoretical advances about the spin-dependent properties including the electric field and exchange field tunable topological properties of silicene and the corresponding spintronic device simulations.
