Topological spin and valley pumping in silicene
We propose to realize adiabatic topological spin and valley pumping by using silicene, subject to the modulation of an in-plane ac electric field with amplitude Ey and a vertical electric field consisting of an electrostatic component and an ac component with amplitudes and . By tuning and , topological valley pumping or spin-valley pumping can be achieved. The low-noise valley and spin current...
متن کاملValley Splitting and Spin Lifetime Enhancement in Strained Silicon Heterostructures
Semiconductor spintronics is promising because it potentially allows creating data storages and processing elements that are smaller and consume less energy than present charge-based microelectronic devices. Silicon is an ideal material for spintronic applications due to the long spin lifetime in the bulk material. However, large spin relaxation was experimentally observed in gated silicon stru...
متن کاملFull Valley and Spin Polarizations in Strained Graphene with Rashba Spin Orbit Coupling and Magnetic Barrier
We propose a graphene-based full valley- and spin-polarization device based on strained graphene with Rashba spin orbit coupling and magnetic barrier. The underlying mechanism is the coexistence of the valley and single spin band gaps in a certain Fermi energy. By aligning the Fermi energy in the valley and single spin band gaps, remarkable valley- and spin-polarization currents can be accessed.
متن کاملSpin-valley filtering in strained graphene structures with artificially induced carrier mass and spin-orbit coupling.
The interplay of massive electrons with spin-orbit coupling in bulk graphene results in a spin-valley dependent gap. Thus, a barrier with such properties can act as a filter, transmitting only opposite spins from opposite valleys. In this Letter we show that a strain induced pseudomagnetic field in such a barrier will enforce opposite cyclotron trajectories for the filtered valleys, leading to ...
متن کاملElectrically controllable sudden reversals in spin and valley polarization in silicene
We study the spin and valley dependent transport in a silicene superlattice under the influence of a magnetic exchange field, a perpendicular electric field and a voltage potential. It is found that a gate-voltage-controllable fully spin and valley polarized current can be obtained in the proposed device, and the spin and valley polarizations are sensitive oscillatory functions of the voltage p...
