Abstract

The fabrication of large-area vertical junctions with a molecular spin-crossover complex displaying concerted changes of spin degrees of freedom and charge-transport properties is reported. Fabricated devices allow spin-state switching in the spin-crossover layer to be triggered and probed by optical means, while detecting associated changes in electrical resistance in the junctions.
