Abstract

To perform four-terminal nonlocal spin-valve measurements on organic spin-valves, we fabricated lateral spin-valve devices consisting of doped conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT:PSS] and ferromagnetic Ni80Fe20 narrow line (width: 530nm) electrodes. Although the formula of the nonlocal magnetoresistance with the parameters of doped conducting polymers predicts sufficient nonlocal magnetoresistance, we could not observe any spin signal. The spin diffusion length in the doped PEDOT:PSS device does not appear to be as long as those predicted by both the Elliott–Yafet mechanism and the theory of spin relaxation in organic disordered solids.
