▎ 摘  要

We theoretically investigate the crossed spin conductance (CSC) of a graphene-based heterostructure consists of ferromagnet, Rashba spin-orbit and superconductor regions. Using Dirac Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism in the ballistic regime, we show that in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling there are an anomalous crossed Andreev reection and spin-ipped co-tunneling in the process of quantum transport. We demonstrate that the CSC can be reversed with respect to charge conductance by tuning the Rashba spin-orbit coupling which experimentally can be adjusted by the applied perpendicular electric field on the graphene sheet. This feature in addition to a long spin relaxation time of Dirac fermions in graphene proposes designing a device with a non-local spin switch which is crucial for spintronics circuits.
