The isolation of graphene has triggered an avalanche of studies into the spin-dependent physical properties of this material and of graphene-based spintronic devices. Here, we review the experimental and theoretical state-of-art concerning spin injection and transport, defect-induced magnetic moments, spin-orbit coupling and spin relaxation in graphene. Future research in graphene spintronics will need to address the development of applications such as spin transistors and spin logic devices, as well as exotic physical properties including topological states and proximity-induced phenomena in graphene and other two-dimensional materials.

On-surface synthesis of graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edge topology (2015, methodology): “This method, in which physisorbed individual 6-ZGNRs are laterally and/or vertically manipulated on the Au(111) surface, consists of four steps: (1) deposition of NaCl islands (thermal evaporation of submonolayer coverage, deposition temperature of about 1,000 K) on the 6-ZGNR/Au(111) surface; (2) p”
The role of contact resistance in graphene field-effect devices (2017, background): “Several reports on spin injection and transport in graphene use the non-local geometry [194,195,202215] in which the voltage probes detecting the spin density are positioned out of the charge current loop (using other electrodes) [216].”
Probing and controlling magnetic states in 2D layered magnetic materials (2019, neutral): “Although there have been efforts to induce magnetism in graphene 4 and transition metal dichalcogenides 5–7 , 2D materials with intrinsic magnetism had been missing until quite recently.”
Interface-Induced Phenomena in Magnetism (2016, positive): “, 2007], and two-dimensional materials like graphene where spinorbit coupling can be modified via proximity effects and/or functionalization of the surface [Tombros et al., 2007; Pesin and MacDonald, 2012; Han et al., 2014].”
