The metal - organic semiconductor interface: Dipole and band bending

In recent years there has been growing interest in the field of thin organic films due to their successful application in optical and electronic devices, such as light emitting diodes, solar cells or field effect transistors. The family of the phthalocyanines (PC’s) represents one of the most promising candidates for ordered organic thin films, as these systems possess advantageous attributes s...

Interface effects in spin-polarized metal/insulator layered structures

Recent advances in thin-film deposition techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition, have allowed for the manufacture of heterostructures with nearly atomically abrupt interfaces. Although the bulk properties of the individual heterostructure components may be well-known, often the heterostructures exhibit novel and sometimes unexpected properties due to interface eff...

Crossover from spin accumulation into interface states to spin injection in the germanium conduction band.

Electrical spin injection into semiconductors paves the way for exploring new phenomena in the area of spin physics and new generations of spintronic devices. However the exact role of interface states in the spin injection mechanism from a magnetic tunnel junction into a semiconductor is still under debate. In this Letter, we demonstrate a clear transition from spin accumulation into interface...
