Abstract

Hybrids of graphene and two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have the potential to bring graphene spintronics to the next level. As we show here by performing first-principles calculations of graphene on monolayer MoS2, there are several advantages of such hybrids over pristine graphene. First, Dirac electrons in graphene exhibit a giant global proximity spin-orbit coupling, ...
