Author(s): Yin, Y; Yin, Y; Jiang, X; Koten, MA; Shield, JE; Chen, X; Yun, Y; N'Diaye, AT; Hong, X; Xu, X | Abstract: We report a spin-rectification effect in a spin-valve structure consisting of ferroelectric croconic acid (C5H2O5) sandwiched between ferromagnetic electrodes La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and Co, which can be switched between a high-resistance (off) and a low-resistance (on) state by a poling voltage. In the off state, the magnetoresistance (MR) sign reverses with the measurement voltage with a 0.1-V offset, suggesting a spin-rectification behavior, while in the on state the MR remains negative. These observations can be understood in terms of electrically controlled interfacial energy-band alignment either from the electrostatic effect or from the interfacial redox process. The observed spin-rectification effect suggests the possibility of diodelike devices for spin-polarized current.
