Gate-induced band ferromagnetism in an organic polymer

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We propose that a chain of five-membered rings (polyaminotriazole) should be ferromagnetic with an appropriate doping that is envisaged to be feasible with an FET structure. The ferromagnetism is confirmed by a spin density functional calculation, which also shows that ferromagnetism survives the Peierls instability. We explain the magnetism in terms of Mielke and Tasaki's flat-band ferromagnetism with the Hubbard model. This opens a new possibility of band ferromagnetism in purely organic polymers.
