Materials breakthrough in microfabrication could lead to a new generation of smaller, faster, energy-efficient electronics. A research group has succeeded in measuring spin transport in a thin film of specific molecules — a material well-known in organic light emitting diodes — at room temperature. They found that this thin molecular film has a spin diffusion length of approximately 62 nm, a length that could have practical applications in developing spintronics technology. In addition, while electricity has been used to control spin transport in the past, the thin molecular film used in this study is photoconductive, allowing spin transport control using visible light.
