Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve device performance of organic spintronic devices by utilizing an artificially grown MgO(001) thin layer.

Developing magnetic thin films with desirable physical properties is a key step to promote research in spintronics. Organic-based magnetic material is a relatively new kind of materials which has magnetic properties in a molecular and microscopic level. These materials have been constructed by the coordination between 3d transition metal and organic materials producing long-range magnetic orders with a relatively high transition temperature. However, these materials were mostly synthesized as a form of powder, which is difficult to study for their physical properties as well as apply for electronic/spintronic devices. In this study, we have employed physical vapor deposition (PVD) to develop a new organic-based hybrid magnetic film that is achieved by the coordination of Fe and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). The IR spectra of the grown film show modified CN vibration modes in TCNQ, which suggest a strong bonding between Fe and TCNQ. The thin film has both ferromagnetic and semiconducting behaviors, which is suitable for molecular spintronic applications. The high resolution photoemission (HRPES) spectra also show shift of 1s peak point of nitrogen and the carbon 1s peaks display traces of charge transfer from Fe to TCNQ as well as shake-up features, which suggest strong bonding and anti-bonding nature of coordination between Fe and TCNQ.

Fe(100)/MgO(100)/CuPc/Co 자성터널접합 소자의 온도에 따른 전압-전류 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 화학적 열적 안정성이 비교적 우수한 Cu-Phthalocyanine(CuPc)의 유기박막을 에피성장된 2 nm MgO(100) 박막 위에 2~10 nm 두께로 적층하여 두 강자성 Fe(100)와 Co 전극 사이의 무기-유기 복합 절연격벽으로 이용하였다. 저온 77 K에서 측정된 거대자기저항현상은 CuPc의 두께가 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하여 10 nm의 CuPc 두께의 경우 전하축적에 의한 쌍안정 스위칭 거동(bistable switching behavior)이 관찰되었다. 이 스위칭 거동은 약 240 K의 온도에 이르면서 점차 소멸되어 상온에서는 정류기와 유사한 비대칭적 전압-전류 특성을 보였다. 이 연구에서 우리는 MgO/CuPc 층상구조에대해 유기물 스핀소자의 절연격벽뿐만 아니라 Polymer Random Access Memory(PoRAM)를 위한 응용 가능성에 대해 논하였다.
