Controlled spin switching in a metallocene molecular junction
Manipulating spin states of molecules in a controllable manner is essential to develop the molecule-based spintronics technologies. Here, Ormaza et al. show how to use the interaction between a single metallocene molecule and a metallic surface to reversibly switch spin from 1 to ½ in a junction.
