表題

Tunnelling Magnetoresistance Modulated by Molecular Orientation of Organic Barrier

講演要旨

Combining non-magnetic organic semiconductors (OSCs) with ferromagnetic (FM) inorganic electrodes has been at the heart of developments in the field of organic spintronics over the past decade or so[1]. Going beyond conventional architectures in which the spin transport layer solely consists of an OSC, hybrid device structures offer a means of coupling high efficiency inorganic spin emitters with an organic layer in which spin diffusion lengths are longer than inorganic alternatives[1]. However, demonstrating spin-polarised transport of charge carriers via intrinsic hopping between localised OSC states has proven problematic due to issues related to FM/OSC interface formation, principally the formation of metallic filaments during deposition of the top electrode[2], and the occurrence of hybrid interface states[3]. Inert oxide tunnel barriers can mitigate the latter effect in hybrid devices whilst metallic filaments can be reduced through morphological control of the OSC layer, either through low temperature amorphous growth[4] or the use of high symmetry, isotropic molecules such as C60[5]. Here, we demonstrate how an alternative low temperature growth mode, in which CuPc films quasi-epitaxially form on MgO(001), also leads to enhanced spin transport in a hybrid MTJ.
