Twist-angle dependent proximity induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene/transition-metal dichalcogenide and graphene/topological insulator heterostructures — •Thomas Naimer¹, Klaus Zollner¹, Martin Gmitra², and Jaroslav Fabian¹ — ¹Uni Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany — ²Pavol Jozef Šafárik University, Košice, Slovakia

We investigate the proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in twisted heterostructures of graphene/transition-metal dichalcogenides (MoS₂, WS₂, MoSe₂, and WSe₂) as well as graphene/topological insulators (Bi₂Se₃ and Bi₂Te₃) from first principles. To correct for strain induced band offsets, we apply a perpendicular electric field. The resulting corrected band structure is then fitted around the Dirac point to an established spin-orbit Hamiltonian, yielding the twist angle dependencies of the (Rashba and valley-Zeeman) spin-orbit coupling.
