Abstract
We experimentally and theoretically show that the magnetic coupling at room temperature between paramagnetic Mn within manganese phthalocyanine molecules and a Co layer persists when separated by a Cu spacer. The molecule's magnetization amplitude and direction can be tuned by varying the Cu-spacer thickness and evolves according to an interlayer exchange coupling mechanism. Ab initio calculations predict a highly spin-polarized density of states at the Fermi level of this metal-molecule interface, thereby strengthening prospective spintronics applications.
