NUS researchers discovered that manipulating the electron spin lowers the contact resistance in graphene-metal interfaces, which normally suffer from large electrical resistance.

The researchers have shown that edga-contacted device geometries in metallic-graphene interfaces feature some of the lowest contact resistances reported to date - significantly lower than in surface-contracted interfaces. The researchers explain that this is due to the different behavior of electron spins in these geometries.
