Abstract:

The emergence of spintronics (spin-based electronics), which exploits electronic charge as well as the spin degree of freedom to store/process data has already seen some of its fundamental results turned into actual devices during the last decade. Information encoded in spins persists even when the device is switched off; it can be manipulated with and without using magnetic fields and can be written using little energy. Eventually, spintronics aims at spin control of electrical properties (I-V characteristics), contrary to the common process of controlling the magnetization (spins) via application of electrical field. In the meantime, another revolution in electronics appears to be unfolding, with the evolution of Molecular Spintronics which aims at manipulating spins and charges in electronic devices containing one or more molecules, because a long spin lifetime is expected from the very small spin-orbit coupling in organic semiconductors. This futuristic area is fascinating because it promises the integration of memory and logic functions,
