Abstract

Starting with a brief introduction to the Landauer-Buettiker formalism and real-space Green's function method, this talk focuses on two latest research topics in my group: spin-dependent transport in graphene proximitized by transition metal dichalcogenides [1,2] and spinless transport in strained graphene [3]. In the first topic, our quantum transport simulations confirmed the enhanced spin-orbit coupling in graphene due to the proximity effect by matching the transverse magnetic focusing experiment done by the group of D.-K. Ki [1] and very recently showed [2] how to potentially detect the transport signature arising from the newly discovered radial Rashba spin-orbit coupling [4]. The second topic will discuss magnetotransport and pseudomagnetotransport simulations in strained graphene [3]. Whether spin-orbit-coupled graphene or spinless strained graphene, the scalable tight-binding model [5] is found to be of crucial importance for simulating experimentally sized graphene samples.
