Deskripsi

Owing to its long spin diffusion length, graphene shows promise for spintronics applications, especially when encapsulated within hexagonal boron nitride. Here, the authors demonstrate gate-tunable spin transport in encapsulated graphene-based spin valves with one-dimensional ferromagnetic edge contacts via magnetic proximity effect.
