Spin filtering and magnetoresistance effects in a dithiane ultra-short single-molecule insulator

Abstract

Dithiane is an ultra-short single-molecule insulator which has been confirmed in a recent experimental study [Chem. Sci., 2021, 12, 10299-10305]. In this work, we investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of...

Perylene-based molecular device: multifunctional spintronic and spin caloritronic applications

“…[9][10][11] Theoretical research indicated that utilizing single or several molecules to construct molecular spintronic devices can gain many interesting and novel transport properties, e.g., spin filtering effect (SFE), 12,13 spin valve, 13 spin rectification, 14 spin switch, 15 negative differential resistance (NDR), 12,16 strong odd-even oscillatory characteristic, 17 and magnetoresistance (MR). 12,13,18 Many functional single molecule devices including molecular wires, molecular switches, molecular rectifiers, molecular transistors and sensors have been realized. 19 Exploring the performance of spintronic effects and spin a College of Physical Science and Technology, Lingnan Normal University, 524048 Zhanjiang, China.…”
