Abstract
Controlling tunneling properties through graphene vertical heterostructures provides advantages in achieving large conductance modulation which has been known as limitation in lateral graphene device structures. Despite of intensive research on graphene vertical heterosturctures for recent years, the potential of spintronics based on graphene vertical heterostructures remains relatively unexplored. Here, we present an analytical device model for graphene-based spintronics by using ferromagnetic graphene in vertical heterostructures. We consider a normal or ferroelectric insulator as a tunneling layer. The device concept yields a way of controlling spin transport through the vertical heterostructures, resulting in gate-tunable spin-switching phenomena. Also, we revealed that a ‘giant’ resistance emerges through a ferroelectric insulating layer owing to the anti-parallel configuration of ferromagnetic graphene layers by means of electric fields via gate and bias voltages. Our findings discover the prospect of manipulating the spin transport properties in vertical heterostructures without use of magnetic fields.
