We demonstrate strong anisotropic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene induced by monolayer WS$_2$. Direct comparison between graphene/monolayer WS$_2$ and graphene/bulk WS$_2$ system in magnetotransport measurements reveals that…
We report a systematic study on strong enhancement of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene driven by transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Low temperature magnetotoransport measurements of graphene proximitized to different TMDs…
The introduction of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) and the subsequent appearance of a two-dimensional (2D) topological phase are crucial for voltage-controlled and zero-emission energy spintronic devices. In contrast, graphene basically…
We use a combination of experimental techniques to demonstrate a general occurrence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) substrates. Our measurements indicate that SOI is ultra-strong and…
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) that is gate-tunable over a broad range is essential to exploiting novel spin phenomena. Achieving this regime has remained elusive because of the weakness of the underlying relativistic coupling and lack of its…
Kane and Mele predicted that in presence of spin-orbit interaction graphene realizes the quantum spin Hall state. However, exceptionally weak intrinsic spin-orbit splitting in graphene ($\approx 10^{-5}$ eV) inhibits experimental…
Interfacial interactions allow the electronic properties of graphene to be modified, as recently demonstrated by the appearance of satellite Dirac cones in the band structure of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substrates. Ongoing…
Broken symmetries in graphene affect the massless nature of its charge carriers. We present an analysis of scattering by defects in graphene in the presence of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs). A characteristic constant ratio ($\simeq 2$) of…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can provide essential tools to manipulate electron spins in two-dimensional materials like graphene, which is of great interest for both fundamental physics and spintronics application. In this paper, we report the…
We study theoretically the quantum transport properties of the Dirac fermions with spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) in graphene by using the method of Schwinger proper time together with decomposition over Landau level poles and Kubo formula.…
Graphene is known to have small intrinsic spin-orbit Interaction (SOI). In this review, we demonstrate that SOIs in graphene can be strongly enhanced by proximity effect when graphene is deposited on the top of transition metal…
The preservation and manipulation of a spin state mainly depends on the strength of the spin-orbit interaction. For pristine graphene, the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is only in the order of few ueV, which makes it almost impossible…
In this article, the modified Kane-Mele Hamiltonian is derived for graphene with wedge disclination and spin orbit couplings (intrinsic and Rashba). The wedge disclination changes the flat lattice into the conical lattice and hence modifies…
A continuum model for the effective spin orbit interaction in graphene is derived from a tight-binding model which includes the $\pi$ and $\sigma$ bands. We analyze the combined effects of the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling, curvature,…
Bilayer graphene, in the presence of a one-sided spin-orbit interaction (SOI) induced by a suitably chosen substrate, is predicted to exhibit unconventional Quantum Hall states. The new states arise due to strong SOI-induced splittings of…
Recent reports of spin-orbit coupling enhancement in chemically modified graphene have opened doors to studies of the spin Hall effect with massless chiral fermions. Here, we theoretically investigate the interaction and impurity density…
The development of a spintronics device relies on efficient generation of spin polarized currents and their electric field controlled manipulation. While observation of exceptionally long spin relaxation lengths make graphene an intriguing…
Realization of the quantum-spin-Hall effect in graphene devices has remained an outstanding challenge dating back to the inception of the field of topological insulators. Graphene's exceptionally weak spin-orbit coupling -stemming from…
Spin transport experiments in graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, indicate spin relaxation times that are significantly shorter than the theoretical predictions. We investigate experimentally whether these short spin relaxation times…
Despite its extremely weak intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC), graphene has been shown to acquire considerable SOC by proximity coupling with exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Here we demonstrate strong induced Rashba SOC…
