• organic magnetic devices with one ferromagnetic and one nonmagnetic electrode. Wang et al. [27][28] have performed theoretical studies of electron transport in OFs and have proposed spin–charge separation and spin filtering. π-Conjugated OFs with spin radicals are ideal materials for device design since

Review SSH model combined with the Green’s function method Generally, an OF device may be constructed by sandwiching the OF molecule between

Spin filtering in metal/OF/metal devices A spin filter is meant to generate a strongly spin-polarized current from an unpolarized current source and is a crucial element for

• and magnetic adatom on a Cu(111) surface using first-principles calculations. For the case of a vanadium tip/adatom, we demonstrate how spin coupling between the magnetic V atoms, mediated by the C60, can be observed in the electronic transport, which display a strong spin-filtering effect, allowing

• spin-filtering and spin-valve effects in STM experiments. System setup and methods In order to mimic a concrete STM experiment, we investigated the specific setup shown in Figure 1. The bulk regions of the contacts (i.e., STM tip and substrate) have been chosen to be nonmagnetic copper, which has

• transmission values in Figure 2. Here, we first point out a remarkable spin-filtering effect in the FM arrangement, whereby two almost open channels conduct in the vicinity of the Fermi level for the majority spin component, while the minority channels are almost closed. For the minority spin component the
