We perform first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, electronic, and
vibrational properties of WS2, WSe2, and WTe2 monolayers, taking into account the strong …

Graphene is an ideal medium for long-distance spin communication in future spintronic
technologies. So far, the prospect is limited by the smaller sizes of exfoliated graphene …

First-principles calculations of the spin-orbit coupling in graphene with hydrogen adatoms in
dense and dilute limits are presented. The chemisorbed hydrogen induces a giant local …

We propose that the observed small (100 ps) spin relaxation time in graphene is due to
resonant scattering by local magnetic moments. At resonances, magnetic moments behave …

Graphene, being essentially a surface, can borrow some properties of an insulating
substrate (such as exchange or spin-orbit couplings) while still preserving a great degree of …

Spin relaxation, dephasing, and diffusion are at the heart of spin-based information
technology. Accurate theoretical approaches to simulate spin lifetimes (τs), determining how …

Using density functional theory, we present a comparative study of the electronic properties
of BN-doped graphene monolayer, bilayer, trilayer, and multilayer systems. In addition, we …

The understanding of spin dynamics and relaxation mechanisms in clean graphene, and the
upper time and length scales on which spin devices can operate, are prerequisites to …

Thanks to its intrinsic ability to preserve spin coherence, graphene is a prime material for
spintronics. In this review article, we summarize recent achievements related to spintronics …

The scattering of two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions from local spin-orbit interactions
with an origin in dilute concentrations of physisorbed atomic species on graphene is …
