Zeitschrift für Naturforschung %M FZJ-2014-04254 %P 360 - 370 %D 2014 %X In this article, we briefly summarize our results gained from recent density functional theory simulations aimed to investigate the interaction between organic materials containing π-electrons (i. e., several benzene-like molecules and graphene) with ferromagnetic surfaces. We show how the strong hybridization between the pz-electrons that initially form the π molecular orbitals with the magnetic d-states of the metal influences the spin polarization, the magnetic exchange coupling, and the magnetization direction at hybrid organic–ferromagnetic interface. From a practical perspective, these properties play a very important role for device applications based on organic materials and magnetic surfaces. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000341556700011 %R 10.5560/ZNA.2014-0026 %U https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/155069
