摘要
Generation and controlling of spin current in two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene are challenging due to small intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the 2D materials. We demonstrate from first-principles calculations that the finite spin Hall conductivity (SHC) of 25 omega-1cm-1 is obtained in van der Waals heterostructure of graphene/MoS2, and the SHC is maximized up to 170 omega-1cm-1 by applying positive electric field, while application of negative electric field hardly affects the SHC. The underlying mechanism of large SHC is discussed in terms of spin Berry curvature in Dirac-cone bands of graphene in the heterostructure, where a size of band gap is modulated sensitively by a magnitude of the external electric field.
