Toward Plastic Spin Transistors and Organic LEDs

Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 12:28 in Physics & Chemistry

University of Utah physicists successfully controlled an electrical current using the "spin" within electrons - a step toward building an organic "spin transistor": a plastic semiconductor switch for future ultrafast computers. The study also suggests it will be more difficult than thought to make highly efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using organic materials.
