Deliverable 3.4 - Demonstration of a self-powered organic spin valve

The objective of the deliverable is to explore hybrid organic spintronic devices and merge the spin transport with other organic functionalities, such as photoconductivity or the photoelectric effect. In particular, the goal is to demonstrate the concept of self-powered hybrid organic spin valves-photovoltaic cells. This involves the fabrication of multi-layered organic devices in which exciton-to-carrier separation occurs at the organic homo-interface. The charge carrier is used to power the device autonomously, but also for performing spin manipulation.
