A modified device fabrication process achieves enhanced spin transport in graphene

Researchers from the ICN2 Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices Group have proposed a modified graphene-based nanodevice fabrication technique that increases up to three times the spin lifetime and relaxation length compared to previous work of the same kind. The work was fruit of the collaboration with Imec and K.U. Leuven (Belgium). The results have been published in 2-D Materials and are expected to empower investigations on large-scale spintronic applications.
