| contents | A scalable platform to synthesize ultrathin heavy metals may enable high efficiency charge-to-spin conversion for next-generation spintronics. Here we report the synthesis of air-stable, epitaxially registered monolayer Pb underneath bilayer graphene on SiC (0001) by confinement heteroepitaxy (CHet). Diffraction, spectroscopy, and microscopy reveal CHet-based Pb intercalation predominantly exhibits a mottled hexagonal superstructure due to an ordered network of Frenkel-Kontorova-like domain walls. The system's air stability enables ex-situ spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) measurements that demonstrate charge-to-spin conversion in graphene/Pb/ferromagnet heterostructures with a 1.5x increase in the effective field ratio compared to control samples. |
