摘要:

在这里,我们报告的角度分辨光电发射研究的电子$π$状态的高质量外延石墨烯层在Ni(111)表面。在这个系统中,$π$态的电子结合能显示出对Ni膜的磁化反转的强烈依赖性。观察到的石墨烯衍生的$π$带峰位置对于相反磁化方向的高达225 meV的非常大的能量偏移归因于$π$带中的自旋极化电子与石墨烯/Ni界面处的大的有效电场的Rashba相互作用的表现。我们的研究结果表明,石墨烯层中的电子自旋可以以可控的方式进行操纵,并对石墨烯基自旋电子器件具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

Here, we report on angle-resolved photoemission studies of the electronic $π$ states of high-quality epitaxial graphene layer on a Ni(111) surface. In this system electron binding energy of the $π$ states shows a strong dependence on the magnetization reversal of the Ni film. The observed extraordinary large energy shift up to 225 meV of the graphene-derived $π$-band peak position for opposite magnetization directions is attributed to a manifestation of the Rashba interaction of spin-polarized electrons in the $π$ band with the large effective electric field at graphene/Ni interface. Our findings show that an electron spin in the graphene layer can be manipulated in a controlled way and have important implications for graphene-based spintronic devices.
