▎ 摘　　要

The present article is concerned with spin conductance in graphene (SCG) when both the application of an external magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) are taken into account. Introducing a Casimir operator, we analyze the structure of total Hamiltonian and demonstrate how the matrix elements along with the summations involved in the suitably adopted Kubo's formula, may be analytically calculated. From the results so-obtained one finds that, in addition to discrete and symmetric behavior of SCG against the external field, it exhibits large peaks as high as six times that in ordinary two dimensional electron gases. Moreover, it is shown that for any Fermi energy the SCG asymptotically approaches a value three times larger than the standard unit of (e/4 pi), for large magnetic fields. Effects of the magnetic field, RSOC and Fermi energy on the characteristics of SCG are also discussed. The material presented in this article thus provides novel means of controlling the SCG by external agents. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
