Title: Spintronics: Organics strike back.
Authors: Vardeny, Z. Valy1 val@physics.utah.edu
Source: Nature Materials. Feb2009, Vol. 8 Issue 2, p91-93. 3p. 1 Diagram, 1 Graph.
Subjects: Spintronics, Polarized targets (Nuclear physics), Ferromagnetic materials, Muon spin rotation, Photoemission, Electrodes, Two-photon absorbing materials
Abstract: The article focuses on research which explores the electron spin degree of freedom for the design of new spintronics devices. One key requirement for engineering spintronics devices is the efficient injection of spin-polarized (SP) charge carriers from a ferromagnet (FM) electrode into a semiconductor interlayer. It indicates that spin injection efficiency has been successfully probed by low-energy muon spin rotation technique and two-photon photoemission (TPPE) method.
