We compare different methods to measure the anisotropy of the spin-lifetime in graphene. In addition to out-of-plane rotation of the ferromagnetic electrodes and oblique spin precession, we present a Hanle experiment where the electron spins precess around either a magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene plane or around an in-plane field. In the latter case, electrons are subject to both in-plane and out-of-plane spin relaxation. To fit the data, we use a numerical simulation that can calculate precession with anisotropies in the spin-lifetimes under magnetic fields in any direction. Our data show a small, but distinct anisotropy that can be explained by the combined action of isotropic mechanisms, such as relaxation by the contacts and resonant scattering by magnetic impurities, and an anisotropic Rashba spin-orbit based mechanism. We also assess potential sources of error in all three types of experiment and conclude that the in-plane/out-of-plane Hanle method is most reliable.
Spin relaxation in graphene is investigated in electrical graphene spin valve devices in the non-local geometry. Ferromagnetic electrodes with in-plane magnetizations inject spins parallel to the graphene layer. They are subject to Hanle spin precess
In graphene, out-of-plane (flexural) vibrations and static ripples imposed by the substrate relax the electron spin, intrinsically protected by mirror symmetry. We calculate the relaxation times in different scenarios, accounting for all the possible
Graphene has emerged as the foremost material for future two-dimensional spintronics due to its tuneable electronic properties. In graphene, spin information can be transported over long distances and, in principle, be manipulated by using magnetic c
We investigate effects of spin-orbit splitting on electronic transport in a spin valve consisting of a large quantum dot defined on a two-dimensional electron gas with two ferromagnetic contacts. In the presence of both structure inversion asymmetry
We report the first measurement of 1/f type noise associated with electronic spin transport, using single layer graphene as a prototypical material with a large and tunable Hooge parameter. We identify the presence of two contributions to the measure
