Spin relaxation in single-layer and bilayer graphene

W Han, RK Kawakami - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
We investigate spin relaxation in graphene spin valves and observe strongly contrasting
behavior for single-layer graphene (SLG) and bilayer graphene (BLG). In SLG, the spin …

Model spin-orbit coupling Hamiltonians for graphene systems

Spin relaxation mechanism in graphene: resonant scattering by magnetic impurities

D Kochan, M Gmitra, J Fabian - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We propose 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 …
