Optimizing the cooperativity between two distinct particles is an important feature of quantum information processing. Of particular interest is the coupling between spin and phonon, which allows for integrated long range communication…
We calculate the inelastic scattering rates and the hot electron inelastic mean free paths for both monolayer and bilayer graphene on a polar substrate. We study the quasiparticle self-energy by taking into account both electron-electron…
We study the electronic properties of electrons in flat and curved zigzag graphene ribbons using a tight-binding model within the Slater Koster approximation. We find that curvature dramatically enhances the action of spin orbit effects in…
Starting from a microscopic tight-binding model and using second order perturbation theory, we derive explicit expressions for the intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit interaction induced gaps in the Dirac-like low-energy band structure of an…
Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other honeycomb structures of light elements due…
We report on first-principles calculations of spin-dependent properties in graphene induced by its interaction with a nearby magnetic insulator (Europium oxide, EuO). The magnetic proximity effect results in spin polarization of graphene…
We demonstrate the strong coupling of a quantum dot and a graphene spherical shell coating it. Our simulations are the exact solutions of 3D Maxwell equations. Interaction produces sharp hybrid modes, even when the two are off-resonant,…
The specific band structure of graphene, with its unique valley structure and Dirac neutrality point separating hole states from electron states has led to the observation of new electronic transport phenomena such as anomalously quantized…
The aim of this work is to describe the spin magnetization of graphene with Rashba spinorbit coupling and Zeeman effect. It is shown that the magnetization depends critically on the spin-orbit coupling l that is controlled with an external…
The spin-orbit (SO) interaction couples electron spin and momentum via a relativistic, effective magnetic field. While conveniently facilitating coherent spin manipulation in semiconductors, the SO interaction also inherently causes spin…
We report on the temperature dependent electron transport in graphene at different carrier densities $n$. Employing an electrolytic gate, we demonstrate that $n$ can be adjusted up to 4$\times10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$ for both electrons and holes.…
We study the spin relaxation in a single-electron bilayer graphene quantum dot due to the spin-orbit coupling. The spin relaxation is assisted by the emission of acoustic phonons via the bond-length change and deformation potential…
Single-layer graphene sheets are typically characterized by long-wavelength corrugations (ripples) which can be shown to be at the origin of rather strong potentials with both scalar and vector components. We present an extensive…

A diversity of spin Hall effects in metallic systems is known to rely on Mott skew scattering. In this work its high-temperature counterpart, phonon skew scattering, which is expected to be of foremost experimental relevance, is…
When Fe, which is a typical ferromagnet using d- or f-orbital states, is combined with 2D materials such as graphene, it offers many opportunities for spintronics. The origin of 2D magnetism is from magnetic insulating behaviors, which…

Electron spin relaxation induced by phonon-mediated s-d exchange interaction in a II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dot is investigated theoretically. The electron-acoustic phonon interaction due to piezoelectric coupling and…
The condensed matter Haldane and Kane-Mele models revolutionized the understanding of what is an "insulator", as they unveiled novel classes of media that behave as metals near the surface, but are insulating in the bulk. Here, we propose…
The electronic band structure of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and transverse electric field is investigated from first principles using the linearized augmented plane-wave method. The spin-orbit coupling opens a gap at…
