  1. Gate Control of Spin Transport in Multilayer Graphene By H. Goto et al. Kun Xu

  2. Advantages • Advantages of spin over charge: • Easily manipulatable with externally applied magnetic fields • Long coherence/relaxation time

  3. GMR • Giant magnetoresistance • Sandwich structure • FNF • Spin valve (HDD read/write heads) • The 2007 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for the discovery of GMR

  4. Disadvantages • Existing spin devices do not amplify signals

  5. Datta-Das Device • Current modulated by the degrees of precession in electron spin introduced by the gate field

  6. Spin-based quantum Computer • Qubit – intrinsic binary units • Quantum entanglement • Single electron trapped in a quantum dot

  7. Spin transport in graphite based devices • Carbon nanotubes • Graphene • Multilayer graphene (MLG) • Weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interaction • Gate control of spin conduction

  8. Device Structure • MLG Exfoliated from kish graphite • 2.5nm thick, about 7 layers (by SEM/AFM) • Doped Si/SiO2 substrate

  9. Device Structure • 50nm Co electrodes 200nm/330nm • Separated by L=290nm

  10. Device Structure • Cr/Au nonmagnetic electrodes • 5nm/100nm thick

  11. Measurement • Four terminal lock-in technique • 4.2K • Excitation current of 1.0 uA, 119Hz • Back gate bias

  12. Spin Signal: Rs • Rs=Rp-Rap • Proportional to R when FN interfaces are opaque • Proportional to 1/R when FN interfaces are transparent

  13. Spin Signal: Rs

  14. Spin Signal: Rs Vn=1.5V

  15. Spin relaxation length

  16. Spin relaxation length • MLG • Graphene: 1.5-2 um at room temperaure, may stay the same at low temperature
