Scientists at IOMT – BAS develop key materials for future ultrathin spintronics

Schema of the graphene - PdSe2 device to study the proximity effect induced by PdSe2 (F1-F4 ferromagnetic contacts, 2 metal contacts (in grey)) Researchers from the "Acad. Jordan Malinowski” Institute of Optical Materials and Technologies (IOMT-BAS) in collaboration with ICN2 and ICMAB-CSIC (Spain) have demonstrated how the interaction between two two-dimensional (2D) materials (graphene and palladium diselenide (PdSe2)) forming a van der Waals heterostructure can improve the spintronic functionality of graphene. Graphene and PdSe₂ are considered among the key materials for future ultrathin spintronics due to their outstanding electrical properties. PdSe₂ has been demonstrated to induce significant changes in the transport and dynamics of spin currents in graphene, providing new opportunities to control them. PdSe₂ is found to induce spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene [...]
