The results show that graphene-based heterostructures have great potential for the next generation of spintronic devices.

Van der Waals heterostructures are engineered by stacking different van der Waals materials in a controlled sequence, allowing the creation of new materials with tailored properties. This technique ...

Definition: Van der Waals materials encompass a broad category of layered substances, including individual van der Waals materials and their engineered stacks known as van der Waals heterostructures, ...
