Long-distance spin transport through anti-ferromagnetic insulators (AFMIs) is a long-standing goal of spintronics research. Unlike conventional spintronics systems, monolayer graphene in quantum Hall regime (QH) offers an unprecedented…
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are materials that feature an insulating bulk and host edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry. The helical locking of spin and momentum in these states suppresses backscattering of charge…
Graphene is a light material for long-distance spin transport due to its low spin-orbit coupling, which at the same time is the main drawback to exhibit a sizeable spin Hall effect. Decoration by light atoms has been predicted to enhance…
