We fabricated molecular nanojunction devices, in which tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq₃), tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) erbium (Erq₃) and fullerene (C₆₀) molecules are sandwiched between two Ni₇₈Fe₂₂ thin films with crossed edges. As a result, we have succeeded in observing clear magnetoresistance effects at room temperature. This study may lead to the improvement of the performance in magnetoresistance devices.
