After the first demonstration of spin transport in graphene in 2007 at room temperature, it was quickly realized that this novel material was relevant for both fundamental spintronics and future applications. In this colloquium an international team of researchers (Switzerland, USA – Columbia University, Spain, Singapore, the Netherlands, UK) reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances on electronic spin transport in graphene and related 2D materials. They focus on emergent phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures and the new perspectives provided by them, including proximity-enabled spin-orbit effects, the coupling of electronic spin to light, electrical tunability, and 2D magnetism…read more.
