Strongly anisotropic spin relaxation in graphene–transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures at room temperatureStrongly anisotropic spin relaxation in graphene–transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures at room temperature, Published online: 04 December 2017; doi:10.1038/s41567-017-0019-2Large spin–orbit coupling can be induced when graphene interfaces with semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, leading to strongly anisotropic spin dynamics. As a result, orientation-dependent spin relaxation is observed.
