Organic semiconductors are emerging materials in the field of spintronics. Successful achievements include their use as a tunnel barrier in magnetoresistive tunnelling devices and as a medium for spin-polarized current in transport devices. In this paper, we give an overview of the basic concepts of spin transport in organic semiconductors and present the results obtained in the field, highlighting the open questions that have to be addressed in order to improve devices performance and reproducibility. The most challenging perspectives will be discussed and a possible evolution of organic spin devices featuring multi-functional operation is presented.

AbstractPolaritons are hybrid light–matter quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling of excitons and photons. Owing to the spin degree-of-freedom, polaritons form spinor fluids able to propagate in the cavity plane over long distances with promising properties for spintronics applications. Here we demonstrate experimentally the full control of the polarization dynamics of a propagating exciton–polariton condensate in a planar microcavity by using a magnetic field applied in the Voigt geometry. We show the change of the spin-beat frequency, the suppression of the optical spin Hall effect, and the rotation of the polarization pattern by the magnetic field. The observed effects are theoretically reproduced by a phenomenological model based on microscopic consideration of exciton–photon coupling in a microcavity accounting for the magneto-induced mixing of exciton–polariton and dark, spin-forbidden exciton states.

AbstractImprovement in the thermal tolerance of Si-based spin devices is realized by employing thermally stable nonmagnetic (NM) electrodes. For Au/Ta/Al electrodes, intermixing between Al atoms and Au atoms occurs at approximately 300 °C, resulting in the formation of a Au/Si interface. The Au–Si liquid phase is formed and diffuses mainly along an in-plane direction between the Si and AlN capping layers, eventually breaking the MgO layer of the ferromagnetic (FM) metal/MgO electrodes, which is located 7 µm away from the NM electrodes. By changing the layer structure of the NM electrode from Au/Ta/Al to Au/Ta, the thermal tolerance is clearly enhanced. Clear spin transport signals are obtained even after annealing at 400 °C. To investigate the effects of Mg insertion in FM electrodes on thermal tolerance, we also compare the thermal tolerance among Fe/Co/MgO, Fe/Co/Mg/MgO and Fe/Co/MgO/Mg contacts. Although a highly efficient spin injection has been reported by insertion of a thin Mg layer below or above the MgO layer, these thermal tolerances decrease obviously.
