摘要: Abstract Spin-dependent transport property through molecules is investigated using a monolayer of oleic acid molecule self-assembled half metallic La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO) nanoparticles, which was synthesized coprecipitation method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy used to confirm that one-monolayer chemically bond the LSMO nanoparticles. The properties and magnetoresistance (MR) effect coated nanoparticles were measured by direct current four probes method Cu/nanoparticle assembly/elargol electrode sandwich device with various temperatures bias voltages. non-linear I – V curve indicates tunneling type properties. tunnel barrier height around 1.3 ± 0.15 eV obtained fitting according Simmons equation. curves can be divided high-field MR low-field (LFMR) parts. former ascribed influence spin disorder or canting within nanoparticle surface latter one strong dependence attributed spin-dependent insulating layer molecules. enhanced LFMR for respect bare weak scattering in barrier.
