Interface Engineering in Organic Spintronics Devices

Abstract

Considerable attention has recently been paid to the active control of spin degrees of freedom in organic semiconductors (OSCs). There are, however, some discrepancies in experimental results of magnetoresistance in sandwich structures composed of ferromagnetic metals and OSCs, partly due to the difficulties in preparation of well-defined interfaces between electrodes and OSCs. This article introduces the current status of the research filed of organic spintronics.
