Tuning the effective spin-orbit coupling in molecular semiconductors

Organic semiconductors with long spin lifetime hold promise for future spintronics devices that can process and store information. Here, Schottet al. perform a systematic study of the strength of spin-orbit coupling and its effect on spin lifetime over 32 promising molecules with high charge mobilit...
