2D materials (2DMs) are fundamentally electro-mechanical systems. Their environment unavoidably strains them and modifies their quantum transport properties. For instance, a simple uniaxial strain can completely turn off the conductance of ballistic graphen ...

We study spin transport through graphene-like substrates in the presence of one or several, locally induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) terms resulting from periodically placed strips, on their top and decorated with a random distribution of impurities. Intri ...

We investigate spin transport through graphene-like substrates stubbed vertically with transition-metal-dichalkogenides (TMDs). A tight-binding model is used based on a graphene-like Hamiltonian that includes di?erent types of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) term ...
