Abstract In a system consisting of a monolayer ferromagnetic graphene structure, based on the scattering matrix approach, we study the spin-dependent transmission coefficients, group delay time, magnetoresistance and giant magnetoresistance of spin-polarized electron tunneling through the Rashba barrier in single-layer graphene. The results show that Rashba spin–orbit coupling can cause a natural spin filter mechanism; it thus has a significant role in controlling the transmission probabilities. In addition, the quantum transport properties of our system depend critically on the structural parameters. The incidence angle, energy, barrier number, and exchange energies can strongly control the transport properties of multi-layer graphene. It is predicted that controlling spin-dependent transport in single layer graphene results can develop the well-known spintronics.

We investigate theoretically the spin current and spin current induced electric field in a weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling quantum wire (QW) using a definition for spin current by means of scattering matrix. It is found that there exists two non-zero linear spin current density elements which have oscillation peaks at the center of QW and their strengths can be changed by the number of propagation modes and Rashba constant, respectively. Moreover, the spin current induced electric field has also been calculated and its strength is measurable with present technology with which can be used to detect spin current.
