We report the spin injection and transport in ferromagnet/organic semiconductor/ferromagnet (FM/OSC/FM) heterojunctions using rubrene $({\text{C}}_{42}{\text{H}}_{28})$ as an organic semiconductor spacer. For completeness of our study, both tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) were studied by varying the thickness of the rubrene layer (5--30 nm). A thorough study of the device characteristics reveals spin-polarized carrier injection into and subsequent transport th

We report the synthesis and characterization of a two-dimensional (2D) MX₂Y₂-type (M = metal, X, Y = N, S, O, and X ≠ Y) copper 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-benzenetriol metal-organic framework (Cu₃(TABTO)₂-MOF). The role of oxygen in the synthesis of this MOF was investigated. Copper metal is formed along with the MOF when the synthesis is done in argon as suggested by XRD. When the reaction was exposed to air with vigorous stirring, copper metal was not obse

We report the synthesis and characterization of a two-dimensional (2D) conjugated Ni(II) tetraaza[14]annulene-linked metal organic framework (<b>NiTAA-MOF</b>) where <b>NiTAA</b> is a macrocyclic MN₄ (M = metal, N = nitrogen) compound. The structure of <b>NiTAA-MOF</b> was elucidated by Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoemission, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopies, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. When chemically oxidized by iodine, the insulati

The production of multifunctional pure organic materials that combine different sizes of pores and a large number of electron spins is highly desirable due to their potential applications as polarizers for dynamic nuclear polarization-nuclear magnetic resonance and as catalysts and magnetic separation media. Here, we report a polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical-linked covalent triazine framework (PTMR-CTF). Two different sizes of micropores were established by N₂ sorption and the presen

Concomitant photoinduced magnetic and electrical phenomena are reported for the organic-based magnetic semiconductor V(TCNE)x (x approximately 2; TCNE=tetracyanoethylene; magnetic ordering temperature Tc approximately 400 K). Upon optical excitation (457.9 nm), the system can be trapped in a thermally reversible photoexcited state, which exhibits reduced magnetic susceptibility and increased conductivity with a simultaneous change in IR absorption spectrum. The multiple photonic effects in V(TCN

Although complex metal oxides with tailored compositions are increasingly in demand for applications in advanced technologies, their preparation by solution-based routes, which are typically low cost and easy to scale up, is challenging. Here, we report high-entropy layered double hydroxides (HE-LDHs) having complex compositions as precursors for complex metal oxides. Furthermore, we reveal that the ionic radii are the key factors determining the incorporation of the metal cations into the hydro

The development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with efficient charge transport is of immense interest for applications in optoelectronic devices. To enhance COF charge transport properties, electroactive building blocks and dopants can be used to induce extended conduction channels. However, understanding their intricate interplay remains challenging. We designed and synthesized a tailor-made COF structure with electroactive hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) core units and planar dioxin (D) linka

The V(TCNE){x}, x approximately 2 is an organic-based amorphous ferrimagnet, whose magnetic behavior is significantly affected in the low field regime by the random magnetic anisotropy. It was determined that this material has thermally reversible persistent change in both magnetization and conductivity driven by the optical excitation. Here, we report results of a ferrimagnetic resonance study of the photoinduced magnetism in V(TCNE){x} film. Upon optical excitation (lambda approximately 457.9

Improving the lifetime and the operational and thermal stability of organic thin‐film materials while maintaining high conductivity and mechanical flexibility is critical for flexible electronics applications. Here, it is reported that highly conductive and environmentally stable organic transparent electrodes (TEs) can be fabricated by mechanically laminating poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) films containing dimethylsulfoxide and Zonyl fluorosurfactant (PDZ films) with a

Individual molecular spins are promising quantum states for emerging computation technologies. The "on surface" configuration of molecules in proximity to a magnetic film allows control over the orientations of molecular spins and coupling between them. The stacking of planar molecular spins could favor antiferromagnetic interlayer couplings and lead to pinning of the magnetic underlayer via the exchange bias, which is extensively utilized in ultrafast and high-density spintronics. However, fund
