Spinristor: A Spin‐Filtering Memristor

In this paper, an in silico proof of concept a spinristor is proposed and provided; new electronic component that combines spin-filter memristor single molecule, useful for in-memory processing. It builds on the idea open-shell transition metal ion enclosed within elliptical fullerene connected to pair electrodes. The spin- electronic-polarization induced by metallic leads differential rectification electrons at low voltages applied between source–drain electrodes, VSD. position encapsulated can be switched high VSD which change direction spin-filtering ratio. system thus used as switching rectifier, is, spin-filter; therefore, spinristor. effect different linkers function device further analyzed show reduce overall conductivity order magnitude, but improve computations suggest nitrile isocyanide enhance rectification, too. To best authors’ knowledge, has no macroscopic counterpart electronics, so far.
