Emerging Physics in Magnetic Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Systems

Abstract

<p>The hybrid magnetic heterostructures and superlattices, composed of organic and inorganic materials, have shown great potential for quantum computing and next-generation information technology. Organic materials generally possess designable structural motifs and versatile optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, but are too delicate for robust integration into solid-state devices. In contrast, inorganic systems provide robust solid-state interface and excellent electronic properties but with limited customization space. Combining these two systems and taking respective advantages to exploit exotic physical properties has been a promising research direction but with tremendous challenges. Herein, we review the material preparation methods and discuss the emerging physical properties discovered in such magnetic organic–inorganic hybrid systems (MOIHSs), including recent progress on designable magnetic property modification, exchange bias effect, and the interplay of ferromagnetism and superconductivity, which provide a promising material platform for emerging magnetic memory and spintronic device applications.<br></p>
