Zusammenfassung

It is proposed to realize a new avenue into spin electronics spintronics by utilizing chiral organic molecules as building blocks for novel prototypical spintronic devices. The project is based on recent discoveries of the partners, in which they proved a spin-selective electron transmission through self-assembled monolayers of helical molecules (DNA, bacteriorhodopsin) and spin-selective electron conduction through single DNA molecules, reaching polarization values of up to 60 % at room temperature. Further, a prototype of a chiral spin memory device has been shown. It is expected th...
