Abstract

The temperature dependence of the spin relaxation time τs in multilayer graphene (MLG) spin valve devices was measured using a non-local magnetoresistance (NLMR) measurement. A weak localization (WL) was observed from magnetoresistance (MR) measurements below ∼70 K, suggesting coherent transport of the charge carriers. Within the same temperature range, we observed a large increase in the spin relaxation time τs and spin diffusion length λs even though the diffusion constant Ds was suppressed by the WL. This demonstrated that the spin relaxation time in MLG could be significantly extended when the charge experiences quantum interference effect in the coherent charge transport regime.
