contents Spin-to-charge conversion in monolayer and bilayer germanium(Ge) nanosheets was demonstrated via the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE). The CPGE current generated in a spin-splitting state of the Ge nanosheet reached a maximum value when the thickness of the Ge nanosheet corresponded to bilayer germanene, indicating that the top layer of the bilayer Ge nanosheet mainly contributed to the spin-to-charge conversion. Because the hybridization of orbitals is suppressed by isolation from the bottom Al layer for the top Ge nanosheet, the observed spin-to-charge conversion has a possibility to be related to the intrinsic features of germanene with breaking of inversion symmetry.
