The interface between a ferromagnetic metal and an organic molecular semiconductor, commonly referred to as a spinterface, is an important component for advancing spintronic technologies. Hybridization of the ferromagnetic-metal surface d orbitals with the molecular-semiconductor p orbitals induces profound modifications not only in the interfacial molecular layer, but also in the surface ferromagnetic-metal atomic layer. These effects are particularly pronounced at low temperatures, manifesting as substantial modifications in the magnetic properties of thin-film magnetic-metal/organic heterostructures. Despite extensive research and interest, the magnetic-ordering and magnetic-properties of the spinterface remain poorly understood. Using ultrafast time-resolved magneto-optical spectroscopy, to investigate the magnetic dynamics in such heterostructures, we unveil the unique spinterface-magnetism and its universality for a broad variety of cobalt/molecular-semiconductor interfaces. In particular, our findings demonstrate the presence of highly anisotropic low-temperature superparamagnetism at the cobalt/molecular-semiconductor spinterface. This anisotropic interfacial superparamagnetism is likely driven by strong chemical modifications in the cobalt interfacial layer caused by the chemisorbed molecular layer. These results highlight the pivotal role of molecular chemisorption in tuning the magnetic properties at spinterfaces, paving the way for future spintronic applications. |
