CHIral spin FilTers for 2D-based Spintronics – CHIFTS

CHIFTS is an exploratory project aiming at investigating the potential of chiral materials as spin filters for electrical spin injection into 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDs). Those chiral materials allow for efficient spin filtering with an out of plane spin polarization which is a key asset for 2D spin opto-electronics. The objective of this project is to demonstrate the potential of chiral organic or hybrid organic-inorganic materials to be integrated on 2D TMDs for outstanding spin injection efficiency. The objectives of CHIFTS are: (i) to develop and integrate 2D chiral organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites on TMDs, (ii) to investigate the interface electronic and spin-dependent transport properties and (iii) develop new spin optronics devices based on these systems. Preparation of prototypical spin optronic devices based on these Chiral/2D TMD hybrid systems will be a major outcome in the context of actual rapid development of 2D spintronics.
