Abstract
Studies of spin current injection, transport, and interface control have drawn attention recently for efficient organic spintronic devices. In this study, we apply both spin pumping (SP) and the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) to inject spin currents into a π-conjugated organic semiconductor, perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), and characterize injection and transport by measuring inverse spin Hall voltage VISHE in spin detectors. A normalization factor introduced to SP analysis eliminates a contribution provoked by deviation of spin sources and leads to a more accurate determination of the spin diffusion length in PTCDA. While SP with Permalloy as a spin source is effective in generating detectable VISHE, the LSSE from yttrium iron garnet shows no convincing sign of spin injection. In addition, spin-flip scattering induced by hybrid states undermining electrical spin injection is negligible in SP. These results are attributed to interfaces between spin sources and PTCDA, indicative of the importance of injection methods and material choices.
