Diffusion and drift of a graphene flake on a graphite surface are analyzed. A potential energy relief of the graphene flake is computed using ab initio and empirical calculations. Based on the analysis of this relief, different mechanisms…
Graphene supported on a transition metal dichalcogenide substrate offers a novel platform to study the spin transport in graphene in presence of a substrate induced spin-orbit coupling, while preserving its intrinsic charge transport…
Spin Hall effects have surged as promising phenomena for spin logics operations without ferromagnets. However, the magnitude of the detected electric signals at room temperature in metallic systems has been so far underwhelming. Here, we…
Electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic metals into graphene is hindered by the impedance mismatch between the two materials. This problem can be reduced by the introduction of a thin tunnel barrier at the interface. We present room…

The transport of spin information has been studied in various materials, such as metals, semiconductors and graphene. In these materials, spin is transported by diffusion of conduction electrons. Here we study the diffusion and relaxation…
The experimental availability of ultra-high-mobility samples of graphene opens the possibility to realize and study experimentally the "hydrodynamic" regime of the electron liquid. In this regime the rate of electron-electron collisions is…

We present a formal derivation of a drift-diffusion model for stationary electron transport in graphene, in presence of sharp potential profiles, such as barriers and steps. Assuming the electric potential to have steep variations within a…
Organic and carbon-based materials are attractive for spintronics because their small spin-orbit coupling and low hyperfine interaction is expected to give rise to large spin-relaxation times. However, the corresponding spin-relaxation…
Graphene is an attractive material for spintronics due to theoretical predictions of long spin lifetimes arising from low spin-orbit and hyperfine couplings. In experiments, however, spin lifetimes in single layer graphene (SLG) measured…
The observation of micron size spin relaxation makes graphene a promising material for applications in spintronics requiring long distance spin communication. However, spin dependent scatterings at the contact/graphene interfaces affect the…
We numerically study spin transport and nonequilibrium spin-density profiles in a clean one-dimensional spin-chain with long-range interactions, decaying as a power-law,$r^{-\alpha}$ with distance. We find two distinct regimes of transport:…
We have measured the spin injection efficiency and spin lifetime in Co$_2$FeSi/$n$-GaAs lateral nonlocal spin valves from 20 to 300 K. We observe large ($\sim$40 $\mu$V) spin valve signals at room temperature and injector currents of…
A long spin relaxation time (tausf) is the key for the applications of graphene to spintronics but the experimental values of tausf have been generally much shorter than expected. We show that the usual determination by the Hanle method…
Graphene hosts an ultra-clean electronic system with electron-electron collisions being the dominant source of scattering above liquid nitrogen temperatures. In this regime, the motion of the electron fluid resembles the flow of classical…
