| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spin-orbit coupling in solids plays a crucial role in spintronics. A typical example of spin-orbit coupling effects is the conversion between charge and spin currents. The charge-spin conversion is responsible for a variety of spintronic phenomena and functionalities such as the spin-torque magnetization switching. In this study, we have demonstrated that the charge-spin conversion in metallic Rashba spin-orbit devices can be controlled by molecular self-assembly. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the reversible phototuning of the Rashba-Edelstein effect through light-driven molecular transformations using an azobenzene-functionalized self-assembled organic monolayer. These results promise a way to create organic-inorganic hybrid system where molecular properties are integrated into spin-orbit devices.
