However, whether and how these molecules affect the spin polarization of the charge carriers in CNTs are largely unknown. In this work we demonstrate that spin polarization can indeed be induced in twodimensional (2D) CNT networks by “certain” molecules and the spin signal routinely survives length scales significantly exceeding 1 μm. This result effectively connects the area of molecular spintronics with that of carbon-based 2D nanoelectronics. By using the versatility of peptide chemistry, we further demonstrate how spin polarization depends on molecular structural features such as chirality as well as molecule−nanotube interactions. A chiralityindependent effect was detected in addition to the more common chiralitydependent effect, and the overall spin signal was found to be a combination of both. Finally, the magnetic field dependence of the spin signals has been explored, and the “chirality-dependent” signal has been found to exist only in certain field angles.}, organization = {Project FEDER/Junta de Andalucía-Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades (Spain) project P18-FR- 3533}, organization = {Grant PRE 2018-083773, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, publisher = {ACS}, keywords = {Chirality-induced spin selectivity}, keywords = {Carrier transport}, keywords = {Carbon nanotube}, keywords = {Peptides}, keywords = {Spin−orbit coupling}, title = {Molecular Functionalization and Emergence of Long-range Spin-dependent Phenomena in Two-dimensional (2D) Carbon Nanotube Networks}, doi = {10.1021/acsnano.1c07739}, author = {Rahman, Md.
