Bernal bilayer graphene (BLG) is a unique material as it allows opening and electrostatically tuning a sizeable band gap by applying a perpendicular electric field. Recently, charge carriers have been confined successfully in one dimension to form quantum point contacts (QPC) based on split gates separated by a channel of a few hundred nanometers. Moreover, spin-polarized quantum transport through such structures has been demonstrated up to 6 e2/h using a high in-plane magnetic field. The threshold magnetic field at which the lowest modes become spin-polarized depends on the subband spacing and thus on the width of the split gate channel. In this work, we combine two QPCs of different geometric widths, resulting in different threshold magnetic fields, to spin-polarize the first QPC and use it as a filter for the second QPC. In particular, we report on a spin-valve achieving spin-polarized channels with a total conductance of up to 10 e2/h.
