Science and Technology, nanoscale organic molecules

Caption: NIST researchers made the first confirmed "spintronic" device incorporating organic molecules using a nanoscale pore test structure,

which consisted of self-assembled molecules (shown in white within the middle blue layer in the illustration) sandwiched between nickel and cobalt electrodes (gray top and bottom layers). The pore structure, less than 40 nanometers in diameter, confines the molecules to a very small area, thus enabling good molecule-metal contacts and limiting defects. Credit: D. DeLongchamp/NIST. Usage Restrictions: NONE. Related news release: Molecular spintronic action confirmed in nanostructure
