The study of charge injection and spin polarization in ferromagnetic metal–polymer–ferromagnetic metal structure

Abstract

By using extended SSH Hamiltonian plus long-range electron correlation Hamiltonian model, we calculated charge injection and spin polarization in a ferromagnetic metal/polymer/ferromagnetic metal structure. We adjust relative chemical potential between the ferromagnetic materials and the polymer to control charge transfer. It is found that when spin orientations of two ferromagnetic materials are parallel to each other, spin-polarized single polaron can be formed in the polymer, but when the spin orientations of two ferromagnetic materials are antiparallel to each other, bipolaron is formed and that spin polarization is found to be zero inside the polymer. The influence of the long-range electronic correlation on these polarons in the polymer is discussed.
