Van der Waals heterostructures provide unprecedented control of Dirac electronic states in graphene via proximity effects. In the talk, we present an electronic structure study of graphene/1T-TaS2 heterostructure and show that the charge density wave phase in 1T-TaS2 monolayer enhances significantly the Rashba angle in proximitized graphene. The Rashba spin-orbit coupling parameters can be further enhanced by applying a transverse electric field. We found also that the particular sandwich structures 1T-TaS2/graphene/1T-TaS2 trigger the Rashba angle to the π/2 limit relevant for specific charge-to-spin conversion utilizing collinear Rashba-Edelstein effect.
