Spin-Dependent Hybridization between Molecule and Metal at Room Temperature through Interlayer Exchange Coupling
We
experimentally and theoretically show that the magnetic coupling at
room temperature between paramagnetic Mn within manganese phthalocyanine
molecules and a Co layer persists when separated by a Cu spacer. The
molecule’s magnetization amplitude and direction can be tuned
by varying the Cu–spacer thickness and evolves according to
an interlayer exchange coupling mechanism. <i>Ab initio</i> calculations predict a highly spin-polarized density of states at
the Fermi level of this metal-molecule interface, thereby strengthening
prospective spintronics applications
