Two dimensional (2D) materials provide a unique platform for spintronics and valleytronics due to the ability to combine vastly different functionalities into one vertically-stacked heterostructure, where the strengths of each of the constituent materials can compensate for the weaknesses of the others. Graphene has been demonstrated to be an exceptional material for spin transport at room temperature, however it lacks a coupling of the spin and optical degrees of freedom. In contrast, spin/valley polarization can be efficiently generated in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) such as MoS2 via absorption of circularly-polarized photons, but lateral spin or valley transport has not been realized at room temperature. In this letter, we fabricate monolayer MoS2/few-layer graphene hybrid spin valves and demonstrate, for the first time, the opto-valleytronic spin injection across a TMD/graphene interface. We observe that the magnitude and direction of spin polarization is controlled by both helicity and photon energy. In addition, Hanle spin precession measurements confirm optical spin injection, spin transport, and electrical detection up to room temperature. Finally, analysis by a one-dimensional drift-diffusion model quantifies the optically injected spin current and the spin transport parameters. Our results demonstrate a 2D spintronic/valleytronic system that achieves optical spin injection and lateral spin transport at room temperature in a single device, which paves the way for multifunctional 2D spintronic devices for memory and logic applications.

Valley degree of freedom in the 2D semiconductor is a promising platform for the next generation optoelectronics. Electrons in different valleys can have opposite Berry curvature, leading to the valley Hall effect (VHE). However, VHE without the plas
monic structures assistance has only been reported in cryogenic temperature, limiting its practical application. Here, we report the observation of VHE at room temperature in the MoS2/WSe2 heterostructures. We also uncover that both the magnitude and the polarity of the VHE in the 2D heterostructure is gate tunable. We attribute this to the opposite VHE contribution from the electron and hole in different layers. These results indicate the bipolar transport nature of our valleytronic transistor. Utilizing this gate tunability, we demonstrate a bipolar valleytronic transistor. Our results can be used to improve the ON/OFF ratio of the valleytronic transistor and to realize more versatile valleytronics logic circuits.
Semiconducting monolayer of 2D material are able to concatenate multiple interesting properties into a single component. Here, by combining opto-mechanical and electronic measurements, we demonstrate the presence of a partial 2H-1T phase transition i
n a suspended 2D monolayer membrane of MoS2. Electronic transport shows unexpected memristive properties in the MoS2 membrane, in the absence of any external dopants. A strong mechanical softening of the membrane is measured concurrently and may only be related to the phase 2H-1T phase transition which imposes a 3percent directional elongation of the topological 1T phase with respect to the semiconducting 2H. We note that only a few percent 2H- 1T phase switching is sufficient to observe measurable memristive effects. Our experimental results combined with First-principles total energy calculations indicate that sulfur vacancy diffusion plays a key role in the initial nucleation of the phase transition. Our study clearly shows that nanomechanics represents an ultrasensitive technique to probe the crystal phase transition in 2D materials or thin membranes. Finally, a better control of the microscopic mechanisms responsible for the observed memristive effect in MoS2 is important for the implementation of future devices.
We study the intra-valley spin-orbit mediated spin relaxation in monolayers of MoS2 within a two bands effective Hamiltonian. The intrinsic spin splitting of the valence band as well as a Rashba-like coupling due to the breaking of the out-of-plane i
nversion symmetry are considered. We show that, in the hole doped regime, the out-of-plane spin relaxation is not very efficient since the spin splitting of the valence band tends to stabilize the spin polarization in this direction. We obtain spin lifetimes larger than nanoseconds, in agreement with recent valley polarization experiments.
We present a study of the effects of inelastic scattering on the transport properties of various nanoscale devices, namely H$_2$ molecules sandwiched between Pt contacts, and a spin-valve made by an organic molecule attached to model half-metal ferro
magnetic current/voltage probes. In both cases we use a tight-binding Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian and the inelastic effects are treated with a multi-channel method, including Pauli exclusion principle. In the case of the H$_2$ molecule, we find that inelastic backscattering is responsible for the drop of the differential conductance at biases larger than the excitation energy of the lower of the molecular phonon modes. In the case of the spin-valve, we investigate the different spin-currents and the magnetoresistance as a function of the position of the Fermi level with respect to the spin-polarized band edges. In general inelastic scattering reduces the spin-polarization of the current and consequently the magnetoresistance.
We present inverted spin-valves fabricated from CVD-grown bilayer graphene (BLG) that show more than a doubling in device performance at room temperature compared to state-of-the art bilayer graphene spin-valves. This is made possible by a PDMS dropl
et-assisted full-dry transfer technique that compensates for previous process drawbacks in device fabrication. Gate-dependent Hanle measurements show spin lifetimes of up to 5.8 ns and a spin diffusion length of up to 26 $mu$m at room temperature combined with a charge carrier mobility of $approx$ 24 000 cm$^{2}$(Vs)$^{-1}$ for the best device. Our results demonstrate that CVD-grown BLG shows equally good room temperature spin transport properties as both CVD-graphene and even exfoliated single-layer graphene.
