Two-dimensional spintronics probed with diamond quantum sensors

该项目旨在了解石墨烯的自旋电子学特性。石墨烯是一种突破性的二维材料，在实现下一代电子产品的高速，低功耗操作，自旋逻辑器件方面具有巨大的潜力。然而，为了充分发挥其潜力，需要在操作设备中直接探测和成像自旋的技术。该项目计划利用最近开发的金刚石量子传感技术来制造石墨烯自旋电子器件。研究结果和方法有望阐明石墨烯自旋电子器件的微观机理，并为设计和优化功能性石墨烯自旋电子器件提供一条途径。

This project aims to understand the spintronic properties of graphene. Graphene, a ground-breaking two-dimensional material, has tremendous potential for the realisation of high-speed, low-power operation, spin-logic devices for next-generation electronics. However, for its full potential to be reached, techniques are needed to directly probe and image spins in operating devices. The project plans to exploit recently developed diamond quantum sensing technologies to characterise graphene spintronic devices. The results and methods are expected to clarify the underlying microscopic mechanisms and provide a route to design and optimise functional graphene spintronic devices.
