Magnetic tunnel junctions with self-assembled molecules.
Molecular magnetic tunnel junctions are fabricated and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) provides unambiguous experimental evidence of the existence of molecular species in the devices. Tunneling spectroscopy is also used to investigate the spin-polarized inelastic tunneling processes in the molecular device. The results show that inelastic scattering due to molecular vibrations is likely the main cause of the observed JMR bias-dependence.
