Engineering spin propagation across a hybrid organic/inorganic interface using a polar layer.
First results from the EU funded ‘HINTS’ project (NMP3-SL-2011-263104) that demonstrated that interfacial dipoles can control spin extraction in an organic spinvalve. For the first time this provided an understanding of the sign of magnetoresistance in OSVs and opened up the possibility of controlling OSVs through engineering of interface states. Invited talks at the international conference on MuSR2011 in Cancun (Drew), Intermag2012 in Vancouver and the APS 2013 March meeting resulted from this work. Used to justify successful ERC starting grant (Drew) and led to visiting Senior Researcher positions (Gillin, Drew) at Sichuan and Fudan Universities (Gillin).
