Interface hybridization and spin filter effect in metal-free phthalocyanine spin valves
Literature Information

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) has long been regarded as the core interaction to determine the efficiency of spin conserved transport in semiconductor spintronics. In this report, a spin-valve device with a Co/metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc)/Co stacking structure is fabricated. The magnetoresistance effect was successfully obtained in the device. It is also found that the magnetoresistance response is relatively smaller than that of metallic phthalocyanines, clearly implying that SOC is not the key factor to affect the magnetoresistance in phthalocyanine spin-valves. The dominant mechanism that determines the spin transport efficiency in the present H2Pc devices was systemically explored by combining both experimental measurements and first-principles calculation analysis. It was noticed that both the crystalline structure and molecular orientation of the H2Pc layer could be modified by the contact under-layer materials, which changes the magnetization intensity of the ferromagnetic metallic electrode due to the strong interface hybridization of Co/H2Pc. Meanwhile, the theoretical calculations clearly demonstrated that the spin filter effect from the second H2Pc layer should be responsible for the decrease of the magnetoresistance response in the present spin-valves compared to those using metallic phthalocyanine layers. This investigation may trigger new insights into the role of SOC strength and interface hybridization in organic spintronics.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
