We study the spin relaxation in graphene due to magnetic moments induced by defects. We propose and employ in our studies a microscopic model that describes magnetic impurity scattering processes mediated by charge puddles. This model…

It is proposed that the observed small (100 ps) spin relaxation time in graphene is due to resonant scattering by local magnetic moments. At resonances, magnetic moments behave as spin hot spots: the spin-flip scattering rates are as large…

The possibility of transporting spin information over long distances in graphene, owing to its small intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the absence of hyperfine interaction, has led to intense research into spintronic applications.…

A long spin relaxation time (tausf) is the key for the applications of graphene to spintronics but the experimental values of tausf have been generally much shorter than expected. We show that the usual determination by the Hanle method…

We investigate how spins relax in intrinsic graphene. The spin-orbit coupling arises from the band structure and is enhanced by ripples. The orbital motion is influenced by scattering centers and ripple-induced gauge fields. Spin relaxation…

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…

A principal motivation to develop graphene for future devices has been its promise for quantum spintronics. Hyperfine and spin-orbit interactions are expected to be negligible in single-layer graphene. Spin transport experiments, on the…

In graphene, out-of-plane (flexural) vibrations and static ripples imposed by the substrate relax the electron spin, intrinsically protected by mirror symmetry. We calculate the relaxation times in different scenarios, accounting for all…

Theory of the electron spin relaxation in graphene on the SiO$_2$ substrate is developed. Charged impurities and polar optical surface phonons in the substrate induce an effective random Bychkov-Rashba-like spin-orbit coupling field which…

We developed an easy, upscalable process to prepare lateral spin-valve devices on epitaxially grown monolayer graphene on SiC(0001) and perform nonlocal spin transport measurements. We observe the longest spin relaxation times tau_S in…

We measure spin transport in high mobility suspended graphene (\mu ~ 10^5 cm^2/Vs), obtaining a (spin) diffusion coefficient of 0.1 m^2/s and giving a lower bound on the spin relaxation time (\tau_s ~ 150 ps) and spin relaxation length…

The understanding of spin dynamics and relaxation mechanisms in clean graphene and the upper time and length scales on which spin devices can operate are prerequisites to realizing graphene spintronic technologies. Here we theoretically…

We consider spin effects related to the random spin-orbit interaction in graphene. Such a random interaction can result from the presence of ripples and/or other inhomogeneities at the graphene surface. We show that the random spin-orbit…

We report the first measurement of 1/f type noise associated with electronic spin transport, using single layer graphene as a prototypical material with a large and tunable Hooge parameter. We identify the presence of two contributions to…

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…

We study the mechanism of wrinkling of suspended graphene, by means of atomistic simulations. We argue that the structural instability under edge compression is the essential physical reason for the formation of periodic ripples in…

We investigate spin relaxation in rippled graphene where curvature induces a Zeeman-like spin-orbit coupling with opposite effective magnetic fields along the graphene plane in ${\bf K}$ and ${\bf K}^\prime$ valleys. The joint effect of…

We calculate the spin relaxation time of mobile electrons due to spin precession between random impurity scattering (D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism) in electrically gated bilayer graphene analytically and numerically. Due to the trigonal…

The relaxation time of a single-electron spin is an important parameter for solid-state spin qubits, as it directly limits the lifetime of the encoded information. Thanks to the low spin-orbit interaction and low hyperfine coupling,…

Hydrogen adsorbates in graphene are interesting as they are not only strong Coulomb scatterers but they also induce a change in orbital hybridization of the carbon network from sp^2 into sp^3. This change increases the spin-orbit coupling…
