We investigate spin precession (Hanle effect) in the prototypical organic spintronic giant magnetoresistance (GMR) device La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)(Alq3)/AlOx/Co. The Hanle effect is not observed in measurements taken by sweeping a magnetic field at different angles from the plane of the device. As possible explanations we discuss the tilting out of plane of the magnetization of the electrodes, exceptionally high mobility or hot spots. Our results call for a greater understanding of spin injection and transport in such devices.
The study of two aspects of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), namely, the matching between isothermal entropy change and direct adiabatic temperature change, is not straightforward since huge differences between these two quantities have often been reported. Here we put in relation the direct and indirect measurements on the first order magnetostructural martensitic transformation occurring in Ni-Co-Mn-Ga alloys. In order to complete the characterization of the MCE and to find an explanation of these mismatches, differential scanning calorimeter measurements have been performed at different applied magnetic fields.
