| contents | Angle-twisting engineering has emerged as a powerful tool for modulating electronic properties in van der Waals heterostructures. Recent theoretical works have predicted the modulation of spin texture in graphene-based heterostructures by twist angle, although an experimental verification is missing. Here, we demonstrate the tunability of the spin texture and associated spin-charge interconversion with twist angle in WSe$_2$/graphene heterostructures by using spin precession experiments. For specific twist angles, we experimentally detect a spin component radial with the electron's momentum, in addition to the standard orthogonal component. Our results show that the helicity of the spin texture can be reversed by angle twisting, highlighting its critical role on the spin-orbit properties of WSe$_2$/graphene heterostructures and paving the way for the development of novel spin-twistronic devices. |
