A Radical Polymer as a Two-Dimensional Organic Half Metal

Abstract

Given that half-metals are promising futuristic materials for spintronics, organic materials showing halfmetal character are highly desirable for spintronic devices, not only owing to their weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions, but also their light and flexible properties. We predict that a twodimensional organic 2,4,6-tri-(1,3,5-tri-ACHTUNGTRENUNGazinyl)methyl radical polymer has halfmetallic properties as well as a spontaneous magnetic ordering at ambient temperature.
