Bilayer graphene twisted by a small angle shows a significant charge modulation away from neutrality, as the charge in the narrow bands near the Dirac point is mostly localized in the regions of the Moir\'e pattern with $AA$ stacking. The…

Spin-orbit coupling in graphene can be enhanced by chemical functionalization, adatom decoration or proximity with a van der Waals material. As it is expected that such enhancement gives rise to a sizeable spin Hall effect, a spin-to-charge…
