Abstract:
Polymers are gaining attention in opto-spintronics for their tunable electronic, optical, and spin-dependent properties. This research aims to examine the potential of polymer-based materials as multifunctional platforms for next-generation opto-spintronics devices. Recent developments in conjugated and chiral polymers, as well as hybrid organic-inorganic systems or thin films of conducting polymers, have demonstrated promising control over spin-polarized transport and photonic manipulation of spin states. These advances have opened the way for innovative device architectures, including spin-OLEDs, spin valves, and photonic spin filters. Despite ongoing challenges in achieving efficient spin injection and long spin lifetimes, the unique adaptability of polymers positions them at the forefront of future multifunctional opto-spintronic technologies.
