24 \textmu m length spin relaxation length in boron nitride encapsulated bilayer graphene

Abstract

We have performed spin and charge transport measurements in dual gated high mobility bilayer graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. Our results show spin relaxation lengths ${\lambda }_s$ up to 13~\textmu m at room temperature with relaxation times ${\tau }_s$ of 2.5~ns. At 4~K, the diffusion coefficient rises up to 0.52~m${}^2$/s, a value 5 times higher than the best achieved for graphene spin valves up to date. As a consequence, ${\lambda }_s$ rises up to 24~\textmu m with ${\tau }_s$ as high as 2.9~ns. We characterized 3 different samples and observed that the spin relaxation times increase with the device length. We explain our results using a model that accounts for the spin relaxation induced by the non-encapsulated outer regions.
