Organic spin transporting materials: present and future

Spintronics involves the study of spin directions manipulation in the solid-state and has been a fascinating and attractive field for scientists. In the past decade, organic materials, unlike inorganic solids, have emerged as one of the promising candidates for spintronics due to their low spin–orbit coupling and weak hyperfine interaction. Organic semiconductors have shown great potential for spin transport in recent publications. In this article, we address the issues of influence of organic materials in spin transport and introduce a variety of possible candidate organic materials for further development of the field.
