Trigonal warping induced terraced spin texture and nearly perfect spin polarization in graphene with Rashba effect
arXiv:1710.08669 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.085416
Abstract
Electrical tunability of spin polarization has been a focus in spintronics. Here, we report that the trigonal warping (TW) effect, together with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), can lead to two distinct magnetoelectric effects in low-dimensional systems. Taking graphene with Rashba SOC as example, we study the electronic properties and spin-resolved scattering of system. It is found that the TW effect gives rise to a terraced spin texture in low-energy bands and can render significant spin polarization in the scattering, both resulting in an efficient electric control of spin polarization. Our work unveils not only SOC but also the TW effect is important for low-dimensional spintronics.
