There is a growing interest in utilizing the distinctive material properties of organic semiconductors for spintronic applications. Here, we explore the injection of pure spin current from Permalloy into a small molecule system based on dinaphtho[2,3-b:2,3-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) at ferromagnetic resonance. The unique tunability of organic materials by molecular design allows us to study the impact of interfacial properties on the spin injection efficiency systematically. We show that both the spin injection efficiency at the interface and the spin diffusion length can be tuned sensitively by the interfacial molecular structure and side chain substitution of the molecule.Spintronics is an important emerging communications technology, in which information processing is based not on the charge of electrons but on their inherent spin angular momentum. An indispensable building block for spinbased information processing are pure spin currents, a flow of electrons' spin angular momentum without a net flow of charge. Spin currents can be injected from ferromagnets into nonmagnetic materials by the process of spin pumping, which involves the excitation of magnetization precession in the ferromagnet under ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) conditions [1,2]. There have been extensive theoretical and experimental investigations of spin pumping into inorganic materials [3][4][5][6][7]: Several studies have emphasized the importance of structural properties and cleanliness of the interface for efficient spin injection [8][9][10]. However, most studies have been performed on nonepitaxial interfaces prepared by sputter deposition and have been limited by the restricted possibilities of varying interfacial properties in a controlled manner. Little is known, for example, of how the atomic structure at an interface influences key parameters for spin injection, such as the spin mixing conductance.There has been recent emerging interest in organic semiconductors as spintronic materials, largely owing to the long spin relaxation times and spin diffusion lengths [11][12][13] associated with their weak hyperfine and spin-orbit coupling. This makes them conceivably suitable as nonmagnetic spin conductors. Organic materials also offer wide material tunability and potentially the ability to study cleaner interfaces than is possible in nonepitaxial inorganic materials, because no covalent interfacial bonds need to be formed when a van der Waals bonded molecular semiconductor is deposited onto a ferromagnet. In this work, we report the first direct measurement of spin injection from a ferromagnetic metal into organic semiconductors (OSCs) by using the spin pumping technique and measuring the associated FMR linewidth broadening. We systematically compare spin injection into a series of small molecule OSCs with different conjugated cores and side chain substitutions and detect a strong dependence of the spin mixing conductance on the molecular structure at the interface.The magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnetic material (FM) under FMR...
