Optical spin injection in graphane and fluorographene (opens in new tab)

We theoretically investigate the optical spin-injection response in different stoichiometric configurations of graphane and fluorographene using density functional theory. Our goal is to determine which configuration yields the strongest degree of spin polarization. The results show that the fluorographene zigzag configuration yields the best degree of spin polarization response (${\cal DSP}^{\mathrm{z}}$), with 98\% spin polarized electrons at ...
