Due to the trigonal warping of the bandstructure, the spin relaxation time exhibits an interesting non-monotonic behavior as a function of both the Fermi energy and the interlayer bias potential. Our results are in good agreement with recent four-probe measurements of the spin relaxation time in bilayer graphene and indicate the possibility of an electrically-switched spin device.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-09T18:10:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.25.Rb", "72.80.Vp", "85.75.-d" ], "keywords": [ "spin relaxation time", "bias-dependent dyakonov-perel", "gated bilayer graphene", "interlayer bias potential", "random impurity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "May", "volume": 85, "number": 19, "pages": 195412 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..85s5412D" } } }
