Graphene-mediated magnetic coupling between FePcs and intercalated Co layers

Giulia AVVISATI, Sapienza Università di Roma

Surface-supported organometallic molecular systems with defined magnetic properties are recently arousing much interest for molecular spintronics, but a fine tuning of the magnetic state and an ultimate understanding of the interaction process are fundamental to ensure their performances. Metal-phthalocyanine (M-Pc) molecules are appealing building blocks for this purpose, thanks to their tunable magnetic properties and their capability to self-assemble when deposited on surfaces.

In this project, we prepared a functionalised magnetic substrate (Co-intercalated G/Ir(111)) and tested it by investigating the coupling with adsorbed iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules.
