Tunneling Spin Injection into Single Layer Graphene (Supplementary Information)

Abstract

We achieve tunneling spin injection from Co into single layer graphene (SLG) using TiO2 seeded MgO barriers. A non-local magnetoresistance (ΔRNL) of 130 Ω is observed at room temperature, which is the largest value observed in any material. Investigating ΔRNL vs. SLG conductivity from the transparent to the tunneling contact regimes demonstrates the contrasting behaviors predicted by the drift-diffusion theory of spin transport. Furthermore, tunnel barriers reduce the contact-induced spin relaxation and are therefore important for future investigations of spin relaxation in graphene.
