Charge and spin transfer materials for molecular electronic and spintronic applications — •Torsten Hahn, Simon Liebing, and Jens Kortus — TU Freiberg, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Leipziger Str. 23, 09599 Freiberg
The combination of different functionalized metal phthalocyanines was found to lead to novel charge- and spin transfer compounds [1,2]. The recently synthesized picene / F4TCNQ charge transfer salt [3] also shows promising physical properties and the theoretical modeling predicts the material to act as a molecular diode with high rectification ratio [4]. Based on density-functional theory calculations we show that in case of the metal phthalocyanines as well as for the picene / F4TCNQ system hybrid states formed by the donor / acceptor system are playing the key role to determine the spectroscopic and quantum transport properties. We further conclude that the tuning of quantum transport properties through hybrid states is a general concept which opens a new route towards functional materials for molecular electronics.
