The proximity effect opens ways to transfer properties from one material into another and is especially important in two-dimensional materials. In van der Waals heterostructures, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) can be used to enhance…
Graphene is an excellent material for long distance spin transport but allows little spin manipulation. Transition metal dichalcogenides imprint their strong spin-orbit coupling into graphene via proximity effect, and it has been predicted…
Spin-orbit coupling in graphene can be enhanced by chemical functionalization, adatom decoration or proximity with a van der Waals material. As it is expected that such enhancement gives rise to a sizeable spin Hall effect, a spin-to-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…
The extreme versatility of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials derives from their ability to exhibit new electronic properties when assembled in proximity with dissimilar crystals. For example, although graphene is inherently…

Pristine graphene is potentially an ideal medium to transport spin information. Proximity effects, where a neighbouring material is used to alter the properties of a material in adjacent (or proximitized) regions, can also be used in…
