Charge-spin conversion signal in WTe2 van der Waals hybrid devices with a geometrical design

Abstract: The efficient generation and control of spin polarization via charge-spin conversion in topological semimetals are desirable for future spintronic and quantum technologies. Here, we report the charge-spin conversion (CSC) signals measured in a Weyl semimetal candidate WTe2 based hybrid graphene device with a geometrical design. Notably, the geometrical angle of WTe2 on the graphene spin-valve channel yields contributions to symmetric and anti-symmetric CSC signal components. The spin precession measurements of CSC signal at different gate voltages and ferromagnet magnetization shows the robustness of the CSC in WTe2 at room temperature. These results can be useful for the design of heterostructure devices and in the architectures of two-dimensional spintronic circuits.
