description

Organic spintronics field is an emerging field at the frontier between organic chemistry and spintronics. Exploiting the peculiarity of these two fields, it combines the flexibility, versatility and low production cost of organic materials with the nonvolatility, spin degree of freedom and beyond CMOS capabilities offered by spintronics. Before starting the discussion on the organic spintronics field, in this chapter will be provided a brief introduction on organic and molecular electronics and the specificities of molecules. This will help to understand the advantages that molecular systems can bring to spintronics.
