Bis(phthalocyaninato) Lanthanide(lll) Complexes - from Molecular Magnetism to Spintronic Devices... 

The spin-orbit interaction is also called spin-orbit effect or spin-orbit coupling, which is one cause of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. SOC, the intrinsic interaction between a particle spin and its motion, is responsible for various important phenomena, ranging from atomic fine structure to topological condensed matter physics. SOC plays a major role in many important condensed matter phenomena and applications, including spin and anomalous Hall effects, topological insulators, spintronics, spin quantum computation, and so on. 

Molecular Spintronic Devices on the Base of [TbPc2]° SIMs... 

Figure 8.17 The main experimental geometries [6] in molecular spintronics via Direct coupling (a) asymmetric, using a conducting tip and a planar substrate and (b) symmetric.

In this chapter, we have reviewed the family of LnPc2 compounds with an emphasis on its terbium analogue, which covers their synthetic approaches, bulk magnetism, magnetism on different substrates and the fabrication towards different molecular schemes of spintronic devices.
