Metal-phthalocyanines are quasi-planar heterocyclic macrocycle molecules with a highly conjugated structure. They can be engineered at the molecular scale (central atom, ligand) to tailor new properties for organic spintronics devices. In this study, we evaluated the magnetic behavior of FePc in a ∼1 nm molecular film sandwiched between two ferromagnetic films: cobalt (bottom) and nickel (top). In the single interface, FePc in contact with a Co film is magnetically coupled with the inorganic film magnetization, though the relatively small Fe(Pc) X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) signal in remanence, with respect to that observed in applied field of 6 T, suggests that a fraction of molecules in the organometallic film have their magnetic moment not aligned or antiparallel with respect to Co. When in contact with two interfaces, Fe(Pc) XMCD doubles, indicating that part of the Fe(Pc) are now aligned with the Ni topmost layer, saturated at 1 T. We discussed the relevance of the finding in terms of understanding and developing hybrid organic/inorganic spin devices.
