This book presents the current level of our understanding, and the challenges as well as solutions that exist for magnetic and spin polarized devices built from organic and metal-organic materials. It explicitly highlights the advantages in using organic versus inorganic materials, emphasizing the three-dimensional assembly of molecules to make thin films which also exhibit ferromagnetism or spin polarization, and the challenges which exist with respect to multilayer device construction.

Anthony N. Caruso earned a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Nebraska in 2004. His dissertative research focused on extracting and understanding the electronic and magnetic properties of surfaces for neutron detector based semiconductor materials and novel materials for spin based electronic devices. Dr. Caruso currently holds a post as research scientist and assistant professor of Nanoscale Science at the North Dakota State University and the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering, Fargo, USA.

Douglas B. Chrisey, Ph.D., holds a post as Deputy Director for Research and Development at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at North Dakota State University, where he also serves as a research professor in nanoscience and technology. His research interests include novel methods of material processing ranging from ceramic electronics to tissue engineering. Prior to joining NDSU, Dr. Chrisey held many positions at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory from 1987 to 2005. He received a Ph.D. in engineering physics from the University of Virginia, and served as an advising professor at George Washington University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology, as well as an adjunct professor at North Carolina State University. Dr. Chrisey has authored or co-authored 400 journal articles and currently holds 15 patents.

Douglas Schulz graduated from Northwestern University in 1993 with a Ph.D. in Chemistry. He spent several years developing printed inks for electronic materials with research projects on solar cells, thin film transistors, x-ray detectors and superconductors. He was employed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) with research interests in low-cost, atmospheric routes for deposition of solar cell related materials until 1999, when he joined the CeraMem Corporation, focusing on the development of plug-in (i.e. non-disruptive) technologies to augment electronic materials manufacture. In 2003, Dr. Schulz accepted a post as Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering, North Dakota State University. His present duties and responsibilities include technical program management for existing federal relations programs in the areas of Nanostructured Protective Coatings and Microsensor Systems. He holds two U.S. patents and has published 62 articles and a book chapter.
