▎ 摘  要

Generating and controlling the spin valve signal are key factors in 'spintronics', which aims to utilize the spin degree of electrons. For this purpose, spintronic devices are constructed that can detect the spin signal. Here we investigate the effect of direct current (DC) on the magnetoresistance (MR) of graphene spin valve. The DC input not only decreases the magnitude of MR but also distorts the spin valve signal at higher DC inputs. Also, low temperature measurements revealed higher MR for the device, while the magnitude is noticed to decrease at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the spin polarization associated with NiFe electrodes is continuously increased at low DC bias and low temperatures. We also demonstrate the ohmic behavior of graphene spin valve by showing linear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the junction. Our findings may contribute significantly in modulating and controlling the spin transport properties of vertical spin valve structures.
