The miniaturization trend in the semiconductor industry has led to the understanding that interfacial properties are crucial for device behaviour. Spintronics has not been alien to this trend, and phenomena such as preferential spin tunnelling, the spin-to-charge conversion due to the Rashba–Edelstein effect and the spin–momentum locking at the surface of topological insulators have arisen mainly from emergent interfacial properties, rather than the bulk of the constituent materials. In this Perspective we explore inorganic/molecular interfaces by looking closely at both sides of the interface. We describe recent developments and discuss the interface as an ideal platform for creating new spin effects. Finally, we outline possible technologies that can be generated thanks to the unique active tunability of molecular spinterfaces.

半导体行业的小型化趋势已使人们认识到，界面特性对于器件的性能至关重要。自旋电子学并非与这种趋势无关，而诸如优先自旋隧穿，由于Rashba-Edelstein效应引起的自旋至电荷转换以及拓扑绝缘体表面上的自旋动量锁定等现象主要来自于新兴的界面特性。 ，而不是大部分构成材料。在此“透视图”中，我们通过仔细观察界面的两侧来探索无机/分子界面。我们描述了最近的发展，并讨论了将界面作为创建新的自旋效果的理想平台的方法。最后，我们概述了由于分子界面独特的主动可调性而可以产生的可能技术。
