Description
CONTEXT
Organic semiconductors have emerged within the past decade as a promising medium to transport spin-polarized electrons with the aim to achieve electronic circuits whose properties are driven by the electron spin – a quantum mechanical parameter – in addition to its charge. Toward this end, work has proceeded on the study of spin injectors in combination with organic semiconductors.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The thin film elaboration of many organic semiconductors requires a wet chemical environment (spin coating in a glove box) rather than the vacuum environment in which typical spin injectors are synthesized. The present patent describes a means to protect these spin injectors against the rigors of a wet chemical environment while integrating these organic semiconductors within the spin injector properties.
ADVANTAGES
The properties of the spin injector can be utilized in conjunction with essentially all organic semiconductors, rather than a limited subset that is compatible with vacuum deposition.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
At the intersection between spintronics and organic electronics for industrial use in photovoltaics, LED, spin-based information encoding (ie memories) /processing, etc…
