| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was aimed at developing single molecular spintronics to make use of spin degree of freedom, which will open a path to low energy consuming and fast electronic devices. Measurement techniques, such as magneto resistance and thermoelectricity, developed in this project, revealed the magneto-resistance loop of single molecular junction and existence of spin polarized conduction channel.The results obtained suggest that the single molecular junction is useful to develop nano-scale spintronic devices.
