Following the recent discovery of large magnetoresistance at room temperature in polyfluorence sandwich devices, we have performed a comprehensive magnetoresistance study on a set of organic semiconductor sandwich devices made from different pi-conjugated polymers and small molecules. The measurements were performed at different temperatures, ranging from 10K to 300K, and at magnetic fields, $B < 100mT$. We observed large negative or positive magnetoresistance (up to 10% at 300K and 10mT) depending on material and device operating conditions. We compare the results obtained in devices made from different materials with the goal of providing a comprehensive picture of the experimental data. We discuss our results in the framework of known magnetoresistance mechanisms and find that none of the existing models can explain our results.

A magnetic spin filter tunnel barrier, sandwiched between a non-magnetic metal and a magnetic metal, is used to create a new magnetoresistive tunnel device, somewhat analogous to an optical polarizer-analyzer configuration. The resistance of these tr
ilayer structures depends on the relative magnetization orientation of the spin filter and the ferromagnetic electrode. The spin filtering in this configuration yields a previously unobserved magnetoresistance effect, exceeding 100%.
Surface confined dehalogenation reactions are versatile bottom-up approaches for the synthesis of carbon-based nanostructures with predefined chemical properties. However, for devices generally requiring low conductivity substrates, potential applica
tions are so far severely hampered by the necessity of a metallic surface to catalyze the reactions. In this work we report the synthesis of ordered arrays of poly(p-phenylene) chains on the surface of semiconducting TiO2(110) via a dehalogenative homocoupling of 4,4-dibromoterphenyl precursors. The supramolecular phase is clearly distinguished from the polymeric one using low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy as the substrate temperature used for deposition is varied. X ray photoelectron spectroscopy of C 1s and Br 3d core levels traces the temperature of the onset of dehalogenation to around 475 K. Moreover, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and tight-binding calculations identify a highly dispersive band characteristic of a substantial overlap between the precursors {pi} states along the polymer, considered as the fingerprint of a successful polymerization. Thus, these results establish the first spectroscopic evidence that atomically precise carbon based nanostructures can readily be synthesized on top of a transition-metal oxide surface, opening the prospect for the bottom-up production of novel molecule-semiconductor devices.
We report on the discovery of a large, room temperature magnetoresistance (MR) effect in polyfluorene sandwich devices in weak magnetic fields. We characterize this effect and discuss its dependence on voltage, temperature, film thickness, electrode
materials, and (unintentional) impurity concentration. We usually observed negative MR, but positive MR can also be achieved under high applied electric fields. The MR effect reaches up to 10% at fields of 10mT at room temperature. The effect shows only a weak temperature dependence and is independent of the sign and direction of the magnetic field. We find that the effect is related to the hole current in the devices.
Zinc-based nitride CaZn2N2 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with a plasma-assisted active nitrogen-radical source are promising candidates of next-generation semiconductors for light-emitting diodes and solar cells. This nitride compound h
as previously only been synthesized in a bulk form by ultrahigh-pressure synthesis at 5 GPa. Three key factors have been found to enable heteroepitaxial film growth: (i) precise tuning of the individual flux rates of Ca and Zn, (ii) the use of GaN template layers on sapphire c-plane as substrates, and (iii) the application of MBE with an active N-radical source. Because other attempts at physical vapor deposition and thermal annealing processes have not produced CaZn2N2 films of any phase, this rf-plasma-assisted MBE technique represents a promising way to stabilize CaZn2N2 epitaxial films. The estimated optical band gap is ~1.9 eV, which is consistent with the value obtained from bulk samples. By unintentional carrier doping, n- and p-type electronic conductions are attained with low carrier densities of the order of 1013 /cm3. These features represent clear advantages when compared with Zn-based oxide semiconductors, which usually have much higher carrier densities irrespective of their intentionally undoped state. The carrier mobilities at room temperature are 4.3 cm2/(Vs) for electrons and 0.3 cm2/(Vs) for hole carriers, which indicates that transport properties are limited by grain boundary scattering, mainly because of the low-temperature growth at 250 {deg}C, which realizes a high nitrogen chemical potential.
We present an extensive study of a large, room temperature negative magnetoresistance (MR) effect in tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum sandwich devices in weak magnetic fields. The effect is similar to that previously discovered in polymer devices.
We characterize this effect and discuss its dependence on field direction, voltage, temperature, film thickness, and electrode materials. The MR effect reaches almost 10% at fields of approximately 10 mT at room temperature. The effect shows only a weak temperature dependence and is independent of the sign and direction of the magnetic field. Measuring the devices current-voltage characteristics, we find that the current depends on the voltage through a power-law. We find that the magnetic field changes the prefactor of the power-law, whereas the exponent remains unaffected. We also studied the effect of the magnetic field on the electroluminescence (MEL) of the devices and analyze the relationship between MR and MEL. We find that the largest part of MEL is simply a consequence of a change in device current caused by the MR effect.
