Description

Full text: Graphene, a monolayer of carbon atoms packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, is an exciting and promising material for spintronic applications. Due to its high mobility it has a long spin diffusion length l up to 2 μm. However, l is currently limited by the strong interaction between graphene and the substrate and by the corrugation in the graphene sheet, respectively. This can be overcome by using more robust turbostratic graphene (TG), a multilayer graphene stack without the usual Bernal stacking. Therefore, enhancements in the mobility and the spin lifetime in TG are expected. Our recent results on spin-injection experiments using graphene as well as TG will be presented. (author)
