$require{mediawiki-texvc}$ A theoretical study is presented on the in-plane conductance of graphene that is partially sandwiched by Ni(111) slabs with a finite size and atom-scale width of $approx12.08 AA$. In the sandwiched part, the gapped Dirac cone of graphene can be controlled via pseudospin by changing the magnetic alignment of the Ni(111) slabs. When the magnetic moments of the upper and lower Ni(111) slabs have antiparallel and parallel configurations, the bandgap at the Dirac cone is open and closed, respectively. The transmission probability calculation for the in-plane conductance of the system indicated that the antiparallel configuration would result in nearly zero conductance of $E-E_F=0.2$ eV. In the parallel configuration, the transmission probability calculation indicated that the system would have a profile similar to that of pristine graphene. A comparison of the transmission probabilities of the antiparallel and parallel configurations indicated that a high magnetoresistance of $1450%$ could be achieved. An ultimate magnetoresistance can be expected if the Ni(111) slab widths are increased to the nanometer scale.

We discuss plasmons of biased twisted bilayer graphene when the Fermi level lies inside the gap. The collective excitations are a network of chiral edge plasmons (CEP) entirely composed of excitations in the topological electronic edge states (EES) t
hat appear at the AB-BA interfaces. The CEP form an hexagonal network with an unique energy scale $epsilon_p=frac{e^2}{epsilon_0epsilon t_0}$ with $t_0$ the moire lattice constant and $epsilon$ the dielectric constant. From the dielectric matrix we obtain the plasmon spectra that has two main characteristics: (i) a diverging density of states at zero energy, and (ii) the presence of a plasmonic Dirac cone at $hbaromegasimepsilon_p/2$ with sound velocity $v_D=0.0075c$, which is formed by zigzag and armchair current oscillations. A network model reveals that the antisymmetry of the plasmon bands implies that CEP scatter at the hexagon vertices maximally in the deflected chiral outgoing directions, with a current ratio of 4/9 into each of the deflected directions and 1/9 into the forward one. We show that scanning near-field microscopy should be able to observe the predicted plasmonic Dirac cone and its broken symmetry phases.
We demonstrate the existence of Giant proximity magnetoresistance (PMR) effect in a graphene spin valve where spin polarization is induced by a nearby magnetic insulator. PMR calculations were performed for yttrium iron garnet (YIG), cobalt ferrite (
CFO), and two europium chalcogenides EuO and EuS. We find a significant PMR (up to 100%) values defined as a relative change of graphene conductance with respect to parallel and antiparallel alignment of two proximity induced magnetic regions within graphene. Namely, for high Curie temperature (Tc) CFO and YIG insulators which are particularly important for applications, we obtain 22% and 77% at room temperature, respectively. For low Tc chalcogenides, EuO and EuS, the PMR is 100% in both cases. Furthermore, the PMR is robust with respect to system dimensions and edge type termination. Our findings show that it is possible to induce spin polarized currents in graphene with no direct injection through magnetic materials.
By considering analytical expressions for the self-energies of intervalley and intravalley phonons in graphene, we describe the behavior of D, 2D, and D$$ Raman bands with changes in doping ($mu$) and light excitation energy ($E_L$). Comparing the se
lf-energy with the observed $mu$ dependence of the 2D bandwidth, we estimate the wavevector $q$ of the constituent intervalley phonon at $hbar vqsimeq E_L/1.6$ ($v$ is electrons Fermi velocity) and conclude that the self-energy makes a major contribution (60%) to the dispersive behavior of the D and 2D bands. The estimation of $q$ is based on an image of shifted Dirac cones in which the resonance decay of a phonon satisfying $q > omega/v$ ($omega$ is the phonon frequency) into an electron-hole pair is suppressed when $mu < (vq-omega)/2$. We highlight the fact that the decay of an intervalley (and intravalley longitudinal optical) phonon with $q=omega/v$ is strongly suppressed by electron-phonon coupling at an arbitrary $mu$. This feature is in contrast to the divergent behavior of an intravalley transverse optical phonon, which bears a close similarity to the polarization function relevant to plasmons.
When a gap of tunable size opens at the conic band intersections of graphene, the Berry phase does not vanish abruptly, but progressively decreases as the gap increases. The phase depends on the reciprocal-space path radius, i.e., for a doped system,
the Fermi wave vector. The phase and its observable consequences can thus be tuned continuously via gap opening --by a modulating potential induced by strain, epitaxy, or nanostructuration-- and doping adjustment.
The possibility of transporting spin information over long distances in graphene, owing to its small intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the absence of hyperfine interaction, has led to intense research into spintronic applications. However, meas
ured spin relaxation times are orders of magnitude smaller than initially predicted, while the main physical process for spin dephasing and its charge-density and disorder dependences remain unconvincingly described by conventional mechanisms. Here, we unravel a spin relaxation mechanism for nonmagnetic samples that follows from an entanglement between spin and pseudospin driven by random SOC, which makes it unique to graphene. The mixing between spin and pseudospin-related Berrys phases results in fast spin dephasing even when approaching the ballistic limit, with increasing relaxation times away from the Dirac point, as observed experimentally. The SOC can be caused by adatoms, ripples or even the substrate, suggesting novel spin manipulation strategies based on the pseudospin degree of freedom.
