Abstract:
In the current work, based on a semiclassical Boltzmann approach, we have investigatedthe influence of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling on spin-current of a single layer gappedgraphene. It was shown that the Rashba coupling plays a considerable role in thegeneration of the spin-current of vertical spins in mono-layer graphene. The behavior ofthe spin-current is determined by the density of impurities. It was also shown that thespin-current of the system could increase by increasing the Rashba coupling strength andband-gap of the graphene and the sign of the spin-current could be controlled by thedirection of the current-driving electric field.
