Controlling the Magnetization Direction in Molecules via Their Oxidation State
Schematic view of the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied energy levels of Eu2(C8H8)3 ionic species. The anisotropy energy (MAE) favors the in-plane magnetization for the Eu2(C8H8)30 and Eu2(C8H8)3+2, while the perpendicular to plane magnetization (z) is favored for the Eu2(C8H8)3-1 and Eu2(C8H8)3+1.

Tailoring the Magnetic Properties at Hybrid Interfaces
The spin polarization of a ferromagnetic surface can be locally tailored by flat adsorbing organic molecules containing π (pz)-electrons onto it. The complex energy dependent magnetic structure created at the organic molecule-surface interface resembles the pz-d exchange type mechanism and leads to the inversion of the spin polarization at the organic site. Although the adsorbed molecules are nonmagnetic, due to an energy dependent spin polarization, in a given energy interval the molecules have a net magnetization density delocalized over the molecular plane. These results demonstrate the possibility to selectively and efficiently inject spin-up and spin-down electrons from a ferromagnetic-organic interface, an effect which can be exploited in future spintronic devices.

Spin- and energy-dependent tunneling through a single molecule with intramolecular spatial resolution
Comparison between experimental and simulated spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy images for a cobalt-phthalocyanine adsorbed on the 2ML Fe/W(110) surface.
Our studies demonstrate that electrons of different spin [i.e. up (↑) and down (↓)] can selectively be injected from the same ferromagnetic surface by locally controlling the inversion of the spinpolarization.
