Enhancing the spin–orbit interaction in graphene, via proximity effects with topological
insulators, could create a novel 2D system that combines nontrivial spin textures with high …

The proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in heterostructures of twisted graphene and
topological insulators (TIs) Bi 2 Se 3 and Bi 2 Te 3 is investigated from first principles. To …

Twisting van der Waals heterostructures to induce correlated many body states provides a
novel tuning mechanism in solid state physics. In this work, we theoretically investigate the …

Herein, recent work on van der Waals (vdW) systems in which at least one of the
components has strong spin‐orbit coupling is reviewed, focussing on a selection of vdW …

Dirac materials such as graphene and topological insulators (TIs) are known to have unique
electronic and spintronic properties. We combine graphene with TIs in van der Waals …

Graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures are promising building blocks for
broadband photodetection because of the gapless nature of graphene. However, their …

The control of a ferromagnet's magnetization via only electric currents requires the efficient
generation of current-driven spin torques. In magnetic structures based on topological …

Prototypical 3D topological insulators of the Bi2Se3 family provide a beautiful example of the
appearance of the surface states inside the bulk bandgap caused by spin‐orbit coupling …

CuFe 2 O 4/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanostructures were fabricated by a facile
chemical method, and the shape and size of the CuFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were tuned …

Inelastic electron tunneling (IET), accompanied by energy transfer between the tunneling
charge carriers and other elementary excitations, is widely used to investigate the collective …
