Unveiling giant Rashba splitting in graphene via in situ cryogenic copper adatom deposition and multimodal characterization

Enhancing spin–orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene is a critical step toward realizing graphene-based spintronic devices, yet it has remained experimentally challenging. In this work, we employ in situ cryogenic deposition of copper adatoms on graphene to overcome previous limita...
