Graphite and Graphene as Perfect Spin Filters

TL;DR: Based on the observations that their in-plane lattice constants match almost perfectly and their electronic structures overlap in reciprocal space for one spin direction only, the authors predict perfect spin filtering for interfaces between graphite and (111) fcc or (0001) hcp Ni or Co.
Graphite and graphene as perfect spin filters
Volodymyr Karpan,Gianluca Giovannetti,Gianluca Giovannetti,Petr Khomyakov,M. Talanana,A.A. Starikov,M. Zwierzycki,J. van den Brink,J. van den Brink,Geert Brocks,Paul J. Kelly +10 more
TL;DR: The formation of a chemical bond between graphite and the open d-shell transition metals that might complicate or even prevent spin injection into a single graphene sheet can be simply prevented by dusting Ni or Co with one or a few monolayers of Cu while still preserving the ideal spin-injection property.
