Proposal for All-Electrical Spin Manipulation and Detection for a Single Molecule on Boron-Substituted Graphene

Résumé

All-electrical writing and reading of spin states attract considerable attention for their promising applications in energy-efficient spintronics devices. Here we show, based on rigorous first-principles calculations, that the spin properties can be manipulated and detected in molecular spinterfaces, where an iron tetraphenyl porphyrin (FeTPP) molecule is deposited on boron-substituted graphene (BG). Notably, a reversible spin switching between the S ¼ 1 and S ¼ 3=2 states is achieved by a gate electrode. We can trace the origin to a strong hybridization between the Fed z 2 and B-p z orbitals. Combining density functional theory with nonequilibrium Green's function formalism, we propose an experimentally feasible three-terminal setup to probe the spin state. Furthermore, we show how the in-plane quantum transport for the BG, which is non-spin polarized, can be modified by FeTPP, yielding a significant transport spin polarization near the Fermi energy (> 10% for typical coverage). Our work paves the way to realize allelectrical spintronics devices using molecular spinterfaces.
