Dynamic spin filtering at the Co/Alq3 interface mediated by weakly coupled second layer molecules

At the hybrid interface between an organic molecular layer and a metallic magnetic surface, spin-filtering effects may be exploited for the generation of spin polarization. Here, the authors demonstrate a dynamic spin-filtering effect across the Co/Alq3 interface, mediated via a second Alq3layer.
