A review on organic spintronic materials and devices: II. Magnetoresistance in organic spin valves and spin organic light emitting diodes
Rugang Geng Luong, Hoang Mai Timothy Tyler Daugherty Lawrence Hornak Tho Duc Nguyen In the preceding review paper, Paper I [Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices 1 (2016) 128 e140], we showed the major experimental and theoretical studies on the first organic spintronic subject, namely organic magneto-resistance (OMAR) in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The topic has recently been of renewed interest as a result of a demonstration of the magneto-conductance (MC) that exceeds 1000% at room temperature using a certain type of organic compounds and device operating condition. In this report, we will review two additional organic spintronic devices, namely organic spin valves (OSVs) where only spin polarized holes exist to cause magneto-resistance (MR), and spin organic light emitting diodes (spin-OLEDs) where both spin polarized holes and electrons are injected into the organic emissive layer to form a magneto-electroluminescence (MEL) hysteretic loop.
