Spintronics with Organic Semiconductors — •V. Alek Dediu — ISMN-CNR, Via Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna

Spin electronics, in its aim to compete with conventional electronics, is always looking for new and more performing materials. Conjugated organic semiconductors represent a possible breakthrough in the discipline, due to their weak spin-orbit scattering and their chemical flexibility. The former produces extremely long spin flip times, enabling spin manipulation processes in various devices. The latter promises an enormous choice of materials. Here I propose an outlook of the main issues in the field of organic spintronics as well as I present most recent results from our laboratory on magnetic and multifunctional effects in hybrid organic-inorganic devices. Finally, I will discuss the challenges in the field and possible strategies to outcome them.
