Gate-tunable spin hall effect in an all-light-element heterostructure: Graphene with copper oxide

Graphene is a light material for long-distance spin transport due to its low spin–orbit coupling, which at the same time is the main drawback for exhibiting a sizable spin Hall effect. Decoration by light atoms has been predicted to enhance the spin Hall angle in graphene while retaining a long spin...

Decoration by light atoms has been predicted to enhance the spin Hall angle in graphene while retaining a long spin diffusion length. Here, we combine a light metal oxide (oxidized Cu) with graphene to induce the spin Hall effect. Its efficiency, given by the product of the spin Hall angle and the spin diffusion length, can be tuned with the Fermi level position, exhibiting a maximum (1.8 ± 0.6 nm at 100 K) around the charge neutrality point. This all-light-element heterostructure shows a larger efficiency than conventional spin Hall materials. The gate-tunable spin Hall effect is observed up to room temperature. Our experimental demonstration provides an efficient spin-to-charge conversion system free from heavy metals and compatible with large-scale fabrication.We acknowledge funding by the “Valleytronics” Intel Science Technology Center, by the Spanish MICINN (Project No. PID2021-122511OB-I00 and “Maria de Maeztu” Units of Excellence Programme No. CEX2020-001038-M), by the European Union H2020 under the Marie Sklodowska–Curie Actions (Project Nos. 0766025-QuESTech and 955671-SPEAR), and by Diputación de Gipuzkoa (Project No. 2021-CIEN-000037-01).
