Abstract From experimental results of spin polarized injection and transport in organic semiconductors (OSCs), we theoretically study the current spin polarization and magnetoresistance under an electric and a magnetic field in a ferromagnetic/organic semiconductor/ferromagnetic (FM/OSC/FM) sandwich structure according to the spin drift-diffusion theory and Ohm's law. From the calculations, it is found that the interfacial current spin polarization is enhanced by several orders of magnitude through tuning the magnetic and electric fields by taking into account the specific characteristics of OSC. Furthermore, the effects of the electric and magnetic fields on the magnetoresistance are also discussed in the sandwich structure.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
