Thus, it is unavoidable to consider the spin-orbit coupling in the spin transport of graphene junctions. Focusing on the ferromagnetic monolayer graphene’s spin polarization induced by spin-orbit coupling in different types, which calculated by the non-equilibrium Green’s function, we find that there is competition between the exchange field in ferromagnetic monolayer graphene junction and Rashba, as well as that between the exchange field and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. The inhibition induced by intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is stronger than Rashba spin-orbit coupling with the same coupling parameter. In addition, a controllable spin filter can be realized by adjusting
