Spin transport properties of triarylamine-based nanowires

What is it about?

Triarylamine-derivatives can self-assemble upon light irradiation in one-dimensional nanowires with remarkable hole transport properties. Here we present the spin transport properties of these nanowires evaluated from a rigorous multiscale procedure.

Why is it important?

We find a room temperature spin-diffusion length of the order of 100 nm, which increases to 300 nm at 200 K. Furthermore, recently we have also demostrated [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 074301 (2014)] that these 1D nanowires could have maximum mobilities of upto 12 cm2/Vs. Our results indicate that triarylamine-based nanowires are attractive organic semiconductors for spintronics applications.
