Spin-electronic devices are poised to become part of mainstream microelectronic technology. Downsizing them, however, faces the intrinsic difficulty that as ferromagnets become smaller, it becomes more difficult to stabilize their magnetic moment. Antiferromagnets are much more stable, and thus research on antiferromagnetic spintronics has developed into a fast-growing field. Here, we provide proof of concept data that allows us to expand the area of antiferromagnetic spintronics to the hitherto elusive level of individual molecules. In contrast to all previous work on molecular spintronics, our detection scheme of the molecules spin state does not rely on a magnetic moment. Instead, we use the step-like transitions between several distinct current levels caused by transitions between different antiferromagnetic states of an individual molecule grafted onto a carbon nanotube. We find that in the absence of an orbital momentum the antiferromagnetic spin states of the molecules show coherent superposition.
We report on a theoretical study of magnetic transitions induced by tunnelling electrons in individual adsorbed M-Phthalocyanine (M-Pc) molecules where M is a metal atom: Fe-Pc on a Cu(110)(2$times$1)-O surface and Co-Pc layers on Pb(111) islands. Th
The longitudinal resistivity at transitions between integer quantum Hall states in two-dimensional electrons confined to AlAs quantum wells is found to depend on the spin orientation of the partially-filled Landau level in which the Fermi energy resi
We study the effect of electrostatic disorder on the conductivity of a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic insulator (a stack of quantum anomalous Hall layers with staggered magnetization). The phase diagram contains regions where the increase of dis
We examine the excitonic nature of high-lying optical transitions in single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy. A careful analysis of the principal transitions of individual semiconducting and metallic nanotubes reve
Magnetic impurities on superconductors induce discrete bound levels inside the superconducting gap, known as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. YSR levels are fully spin-polarized such that the tunneling between YSR states depends on their relative spin
