Spin transport properties in an organic molecule in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction

In the present letter, we study the spin-dependent electron transport in a 1,4-2-phenyl-dithiolate molecule using the Hückel method and equilibrium Green's function formalism. The effect of the contacts on spin transport is taken into account. It is shown that spin inversion can occur in the pr...
