Spin-charge coupled transport in van der Waals systems with random tunneling

We study the electron and spin transport in a van der Waals system formed by one layer with strong spin-orbit coupling and a second layer without spin-orbit coupling, in the regime when the interlayer tunneling is random. We find that in the layer without intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, spin-charge c...
