van der Waals heterostructures assembled from atomically thin crystals are ideal model systems to study spin-orbital coupled transport because they exhibit a strong interplay between spin, lattice and valley degrees of freedom that can be manipulated by strain, electric bias and proximity effects. The recently predicted spin-helical regime in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenides, in which spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom are locked together [M. Offidani et al . Phys. Rev. Lett…

Gate-tunable spin-galvanic effect in graphene-topological insulator van der Waals heterostructures at room temperature
TLDR
These findings provide an efficient route for realizing all-electrical and gate-tunable spin-orbit technology using TIs and graphene in heterostructures, which can enhance the performance and reduce power dissipation in spintronic circuits.
Room-Temperature Spin Hall Effect in Graphene/MoS2 van der Waals Heterostructures.
TLDR
This work unambiguously demonstrates experimentally the spin Hall effect in graphene induced by MoS2 proximity and for varying temperatures up to room temperature, paving the way toward the combination of spin information transport and spin-to-charge conversion in two-dimensional materials.
Microscopic Linear Response Theory of Spin Relaxation and Relativistic Transport Phenomena in Graphene
We present a unified theoretical framework for the study of spin dynamics and relativistic transport phenomena in disordered two-dimensional Dirac systems with pseudospin-spin coupling. The formalism…
Electronic spin transport and spin precession in single graphene layers at room temperature
TLDR
The observation of spin transport, as well as Larmor spin precession, over micrometre-scale distances in single graphene layers is reported, indicating that spin coherence extends underneath all of the contacts.
Large spin relaxation anisotropy and valley-Zeeman spin-orbit coupling in WSe2/graphene/h-BN heterostructures
Large spin-orbital proximity effects have been predicted in graphene interfaced with a transition-metal dichalcogenide layer. Whereas clear evidence for an enhanced spin-orbit coupling has been found…
Anomalous Hall Effect in 2D Dirac Materials.
TLDR
It is found that the entanglement between spin and pseudospin SU(2) degrees of freedom stemming from spin-orbit effects leads to a distinctive gate voltage dependence of the anomalous Hall conductivity approaching the topological gap, which remains robust against impurity scattering and thus is a smoking gun for magnetized 2D Dirac fermions.
Strongly anisotropic spin relaxation in graphene–transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures at room temperature
A large enhancement in the spin–orbit coupling of graphene has been predicted when interfacing it with semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. Signatures of such an enhancement have been…

TLDR
Strongly enhanced room-temperature spin-to-charge interconversion in graphene driven by the proximity of WS 2 and electric-field tunability is demonstrated.
Direct coupling between charge current and spin polarization by extrinsic mechanisms in graphene

Spin–orbit-driven band inversion in bilayer graphene by the van der Waals proximity effect
TLDR
By enhancing the spin–orbit coupling in bilayer graphene using the proximity effect in a van der Waals heterostructure, band inversion occurs and an incompressible, gapped phase is produced.
