Outline of Final Research Achievements

We focus on radical spins in crystalline molecular films instead of micro-fabricated nanomagnets. We obtained the following two results. Firstly, we have succeeded in fabricating devices consisting of phthalocyanine molecules and single-crystal Fe/MgO junctions. Secondly, we have succeeded in detecting radical spins in Pt/Fe-phthalocyanine devices and also obtaining results which indicates that it is feasible to conduct electrical detection of the radical spins.
