纯自旋流散射探测石墨烯中磁矩的形成

Magnetic Moment Formation in Graphene Detected by Scattering of Pure Spin Currents

Kathleen M. McCreary, Adrian G. Swartz, Wei Han, Jaroslav Fabian, Roland K. Kawakami

摘要:

氢吸附原子显示出在单层石墨烯内产生磁矩。石墨烯自旋阀上的自旋输运测量表现出作为施加磁场的函数的非局部自旋信号的下降,这是由于通过交换耦合到磁矩的纯自旋电流的散射(弛豫)。此外,Hanle自旋进动测量表明存在由磁矩产生的交换场。包括自旋输运的整个实验是在一个真空室中进行的,只有在引入氢原子后才出现磁矩形成的特征信号。晶格空位也表现出类似的行为,表明磁矩的形成源于pz轨道缺陷。

英文摘要:

Hydrogen adatoms are shown to generate magnetic moments inside single layer graphene. Spin transport measurements on graphene spin valves exhibit a dip in the non-local spin signal as a function of applied magnetic field, which is due to scattering (relaxation) of pure spin currents by exchange coupling to the magnetic moments. Furthermore, Hanle spin precession measurements indicate the presence of an exchange field generated by the magnetic moments. The entire experiment including spin transport is performed in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber, and the characteristic signatures of magnetic moment formation appear only after hydrogen adatoms are introduced. Lattice vacancies also demonstrate similar behavior indicating that the magnetic moment formation originates from pz-orbital defects.
