Boosting proximity spin–orbit coupling in graphene/WSe2 heterostructures via hydrostatic pressure

Abstract Van der Waals heterostructures composed of multiple few layer crystals allow the engineering of novel materials with predefined properties. As an example, coupling graphene weakly to materials with large spin–orbit coupling (SOC) allows to engineer a sizeable SOC in graphene via proximity e...
