Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) describes the relativistic interaction between the spin and
momentum degrees of freedom of electrons, and is central to the rich phenomena observed …

We review the electronic properties of bilayer graphene, beginning with a description of the
tight-binding model of bilayer graphene and the derivation of the effective Hamiltonian …

The energy vs crystal momentum E (k) diagram for a solid (band structure) constitutes the
road map for navigating its optical, magnetic, and transport properties. By selecting crystals …

Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes,
some known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered 10-20 years …

The spin-orbit coupling in graphene induces spectral gaps at the high-symmetry points. The
relevant gap at the Γ point is similar to the splitting of the p orbitals in the carbon atom, being …

The electronic band structure of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and
transverse electric field is investigated from first principles using the linearized augmented …

Graphene in spintronics is predominantly considered for spin current leads of high
performance due to weak intrinsic spin–orbit coupling of the graphene π electrons …

We review current challenges and perspectives in graphene spintronics, which is one of the
most promising directions of innovation, given its room-temperature long-spin lifetimes and …

In 2005, Kane and Mele [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 226801 (2005) PRLTAO 0031-9007
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 95.226801] predicted that at sufficiently low energy, graphene …

The quantum anomalous Hall effect can occur in single-and few-layer graphene systems
that have both exchange fields and spin-orbit coupling. In this paper, we present a study of …
