Abstract

Controlled spin transport in graphene and other two-dimensional materials has become increasingly promising for applications in devices. Of particular interest are custom-tailored heterostructures, known as van der Waals heterostructures, that consist of stacks of two-dimensional materials in a precisely controlled order. This Colloquium gives an overview of this developing field of spintronics and outlines the experimental and theoretical state of the art.
