Spintronics Breakthrough: Unlocking the Quantum Potential of Graphene With Cobalt

Spintronics offers the potential for devices that operate faster and use less energy by manipulating electron spins. Graphene, when layered with cobalt and heavy metals like iridium, shows enhanced quantum effects that are beneficial for spintronics, such as increased spin-orbit coupling and spin canting. This layering technique leads to the stabilization of vortex-like spin textures, [...]
