Spin Splitting in a Nickel Phthalocyanine Molecule on an Fe(100) Surface by First-principles Calculations

“…It would be more significant, in terms of applications, if the electronic states of a NiPc molecule became spin-polarized. The induced spin polarization on ferromagnetic substrates has been experimentally observed and theoretically confirmed in some organic molecules, such as benzene, pentacene, Alq 3 , and Cu(CNdpm) 2 . − In this study, we perform DFT calculations to determine whether the electronic states of a NiPc molecule would become spin-polarized as a result of contact with a magnetic Fe(100) surface. Strong coupling of the NiPc molecule with the Fe(100) surface is revealed, and spin-splitting is predicted to be induced in the adsorbed NiPc molecule.…”

Interface-Induced Spin and Dipole Ordering of the Copper Spin 1/2 Molecule: Bis(4-cyano-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)copper(II)

“…52 Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) verified the clean crystalline Cu(111) and Co(111) substrates. Care was taken to avoid photodecomposition of the adsorbed molecules, as the molecule can decompose during photoemission experiments, 42,53 and these photodecomposition processes will be detailed elsewhere. 53…”
