Unravelling the role of the interface for spin injection into organic semiconductors

TLDR
In this paper, the metal/organic interface is found to be key for spin injection in organic semiconductors, and the authors investigated how to optimize the injection of spin into these materials.
Abstract
Organic semiconductors are attractive candidates for spintronics applications because of their long spin lifetimes. But few studies have investigated how to optimize the injection of spin into these materials. A new study suggests that the metal/organic interface is key.

Future perspectives for spintronic devices

TL;DR: Spintronics is one of the emerging research fields in nanotechnology and has been growing very rapidly as mentioned in this paper, which has led to the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1988, which utilized spin-polarized electron transport across a non-magnetic metallic layer.

Giant magnetoresistance through a single molecule

TL;DR: Theoretical analysis identifies spin-dependent hybridization of molecular and electrode orbitals as the cause of the large magnetoresistance across a single, non-magnetic hydrogen phthalocyanine molecule contacted by the ferromagnetic tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope.

Activating the molecular spinterface.

TL;DR: In this Perspective, inorganic/molecular interfaces are explored by looking closely at both sides of the interface and the interface is described as an ideal platform for creating new spin effects.

Electron transport in molecular wire junctions.

TL;DR: Molecular conductance junctions are structures in which single molecules or small groups of molecules conduct electrical current between two electrodes and there is still limited correspondence between experimental and theoretical studies of these systems.
