Electrical control of spin-orbit coupling-induced spin precession and spin-to-charge conversion in graphene proximitized by WSe2 — •Franz Herling1, Josep Ingla-Aynes1, C. K.

When combined with WSe2, a large spin-orbit coupling gets imprinted by proximity effect into graphene. Here, we use this effect to achieve the strong SOC regime in bilayer graphene. Together with the long, gate tunable spin diffusion, this provides unique control knobs to manipulate coherent spin precession in the absence of an external magnetic field. Remarkably, we observe in these devices that the sign of the precessing spin polarization can be tuned electrically by a back gate voltage and by a drift current. This realization of a spin field-effect transistor at room temperature in a diffusive system, a long-awaited goal of spintronics, could be a cornerstone for the implementation of energy efficient spin-based logic.
In accordance with the large proximity-induced SOC, we also observe spin Hall effect in similar heterostructures with an unprecedented spin-to-charge conversion length of up to 41 nm. Such highly efficient conversion up to room temperature will play a crucial role for the future integration of spintronic devices into existing electronic infrastructure.
