چکیده
Electronic devices that use the spin degree of freedom hold unique prospects for future technology. The performance of these 'spintronic' devices relies heavily on the efficient transfer of spin polarization across different layers and interfaces. This complex transfer process depends on individual material properties and also, most importantly, on the structural and electronic properties of the interfaces between the different materials and defects that are common to real devices. Knowledge of these factors is especially important for the relatively new field of organic spintronics, where there is a severe lack of suitable experimental techniques that can yield depth-resolved information about the spin polarization of charge carriers within buried layers of real devices. Here, we present a new depth-resolved technique for measuring the spin polarization of current-injected electrons in an organic spin valve and find the temperature dependence of the measured spin diffusion length is correlated with the device magnetoresistance.

Spin-orbit coupling in organic spintronics1
I will talk about spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in π-conjugated organicmaterials and its effects on spin characteristics including the spin-relaxation time, spin-diffusion length, and g factor [1]. While π electrons are responsible for low-energy electrical and optical processes in π-conjugated organic solids, σ electrons must be explicitly included to properly describe the SOC. The SOC mixes upand...

of 3d transition metals (Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn , Fe, Co, Ni) in both far and close situations were studied based on spin polarised density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation (LDA) with SIESTA code. The electronic structures show that zigzag (0,9) GaAs nanotubes are non-magnetic semiconductors with direct band gap. It was revealed that doping of 11.11 % Fe and Mn concentrati...

In this paper, we calculate the spin-dependent conductance of ferromagnetic quantum wire in the presence of one or two defects by using Green's function method at the tight-binding approach. We study the effect of rotation of defect magnetic moment on the system conductance. The results show that in the magnetic wire, independent of existence or absence of defect, the allowed energy region shi...
