      abstract = {This thesis targets molecular or organic spintronics and  more particularly the spin polarization tailoring  opportunities that arise from the ferromagnetic  metal/molecule hybridization at interfaces: the new concept  of spinterface. Molecular or organic spintronics is an  emerging research field at the frontier between organic  chemistry and spintronics. The manuscript is divided into  three parts, the first of which introduces the basic  concepts of spintronics and advantages that molecules can  bring to this field. The state of the art on organic and  molecular spintronics is also presented, with a special  emphasis on the physics and experimental evidence for  spinterfaces. The book's second and third parts are  dedicated to the two main experimental topics investigated  in the thesis: Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) and Organic  Semiconductors (OSCs). The study of SAMs-based magnetic  tunnel nanojunctions reveals the potential to modulate the  properties of such devices at will, since each part of the  molecule can be tuned independently like a LEGO building  block. The study of Alq3-based spin valves reveals  magnetoresistance effects at room temperature and is aimed  at understanding the respective roles played by the two  interfaces. Through the development of these systems, we  demonstrate their potential for spintronics and provide a  solid foundation for spin polarization engineering at the  molecular level.},
