Gate voltage dependence shows that the non-local magnetoresistance (MR) is proportional to the conductivity of the SLG, which is the predicted behavior for transparent ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic contacts. While the electron and hole bands in SLG are symmetric, gate voltage and bias dependence of the non-local MR reveal an electron-hole asymmetry in which the non-local MR is roughly independent of bias for electrons, but varies significantly with bias for holes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-03-05T23:33:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.47.-m", "72.25.Hg", "73.63.-b", "85.75.-d" ], "keywords": [ "single-layer graphene", "electron-hole asymmetry", "spin injection", "non-local spin valve measurements", "gate voltage dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Apr", "volume": 102, "number": 13, "pages": 137205 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102m7205H" } } }
