Abstract
The combined use of highly correlated solids opens the possibility to explore new phenomena and to generate new hybrid devices for Spintronics. We have recently demonstrated the spin injection of carriers into an organic semiconductor, sexithienyl (T 6 ). A spin-valve device has been realized by using two colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) half metallic electrodes separated by the organic semiconductor. The total magnetoresistance as large as 30% was detected for channel lengths lower than 140 nm.Keywords
