Controllable Spin Switching in a Single-Molecule Magnetic Tunneling Junction
Abstract A new type of spin-current filter is proposed that consists of a single-molecule magnet (SMM) coupled to two normal metal electrodes. It is shown that this tunneling junction can generate a highly spin-polarized current, whose spin polarization can be switched by means of magnetic fields an...
