Organic nano-spintronics

Abstract

We study spin transport in organic nanowires and show that the spin relaxation time in organics can be exceptionally long. This makes organics ideal for many applications in spintronics since the longevity of spin polarization is an important criterion for virtually all spintronic devices. We also discuss other important characteristics of spin transport in organics. Finally, we present results pertaining to the transverse spin relaxation time (T2 time) in organics since it is critical for quantum computing applications.
