Progress in organic spintronics

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/5/058106

Abstract Recent progress in organic spintronics is given an informative overview, covering spin injection, detection, and transport in organic spin valve devices, and the magnetic field effect in organic semiconductors (OSCs). In particular, we focus on our own recent work in spin injection and the organic magnetic field effect (OMFE).

Keywords: organic material spintronics spin injection organic magnetic field effect
