We study the electronic structure of chiral and achiral graphene nanoribbons with symmetric edges, including curvature and spin-orbit effects. Curved ribbons show spin-split bands, whereas flat ribbons present spin-degenerate bands. We show…

Inducing sizable spin--orbit interactions in graphene by proximity effect is establishing as a successful route to harnessing two-dimensional Dirac fermions for spintronics. Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an…

Graphitic nanostructures, e.g. carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene, have been proposed as ideal materials for spin conduction[1-7]; they have long electronic mean free paths[8] and small spin-orbit coupling[9], hence are expected to have…

We explore Bernal bilayer graphene in the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions, short-range Hund's coupling, and proximity-induced Ising spin-orbit coupling using self-consistent Hartree-Fock simulations. We show that the interplay…

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 predict "intrinsic" spin relaxation times ($T_{1}$) of graphite due to spin-orbit-phonon interaction, i.e., the combination of spin-orbit coupling and electron-phonon interaction, using our developed first-principles density-matrix…

Two magnetic impurities on the edge of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon strongly interact with each other via indirect coupling, which can be mediated by conducting carriers. By means of Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, we find that the…

Recent experimental discovery of flavor symmetry breaking metallic phases in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene points to the strongly interacting nature of electrons near the top (bottom) of its valence (conduction) band. Superconductivity…

The low-lying states of graphene contain exciting topological properties that depend on the interplay of different symmetry breaking terms. The corresponding energy gaps remained unexplored until recently, owing to the low energy scale of…

We present density functional theory calculations of the binding energies of one, two and three fluorine adatoms on the same side of monolayer graphene. We show that fluorine dimers on graphene in a spin-singlet state are stable against…

Spin-orbit coupling in crystals is known to lead to unusual direction dependent exchange interactions, however understanding of the consequeces of such effects in molecular crystals is incomplete. Here we perform four component relativistic…

Electrons in graphene are described by relativistic Dirac-Weyl spinors with a two-component pseudospin1-12. The unique pseudospin structure of Dirac electrons leads to emerging phenomena such as the massless Dirac cone2, anomalous quantum…

In 2005 Kane & Mele[C. L. Kane and E. J. Mele, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 226801 (2005)], predicted that at sufficiently low energy, graphene exhibits a topological state of matter with an energy gap generated by the atomic spin-orbit…

This work reports an electronic and micro-structural study of an appealing system for optoelectronics: tungsten disulphide WS$_2$ on epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC(0001). The WS$_2$ is grown via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) onto the EG.…

On the efforts of enhancing the spin orbit interaction (SOI) of graphene for seeking the dissipationless quantum spin Hall devices, unique Kane-Mele type SOI and high mobility samples are desired. However, common external decoration often…

Graphene is a promising platform for spin-based non-volatile memory, logic, and neuromorphic computing by combining long-distance spin transport with electrical tunability at room temperature. However, advancing beyond passive spin channels…

InSb$_{1-x}$As$_{x}$ is a promising material system for exploration of topological superconductivity in hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices due to large effective g-factor and enhanced spin-orbit coupling when compared to binary…

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…

Magnetic interactions between localized spins-1/2 play a central role in quantum magnetism, spin-based quantum computing, and quantum simulation. The range and strength of these interactions are key figures of merit. Here, we probe exchange…
