Optospintronics in Graphene via Proximity Coupling

Andras Kis, Oriol López Sánchez, Dmitrii Unuchek, Ahmet Avsar

The observation of micrometer size spin relaxation makes graphene a promising material for applications in spintronics requiring long-distance spin communication. However, spin dependent scatterings at the contact/graphene interfaces affect the spin inject ...

Valley polarization by spin injection in a light-emitting van der Waals heterojunction

Andras Kis, Oriol López Sánchez, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Adrien Victor Allain, Shikhar Misra

The band structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with valence band edges at different locations in the momentum space could be harnessed to build devices that operate relying on the valley degree of freedom. To realize such valleytronic devic ...

Large-area MoS2 grown using H2S as the sulphur source

Andras Kis, Aleksandra Radenovic, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Philippe Gillet, Oriol López Sánchez, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Dumitru Dumcenco

We report on the growth of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) using H2S as a gas-phase sulfur precursor that allows controlling the domain growth direction of domains in both vertical (perpendicular to the substrate plane) and horizontal (within the substrate pl ...
