Spin-dependent transport through a ferromagnetic metal/organic-ferromagnet/ferromagnet metal junction is investigated theoretically. It is demonstrated that the current through the device strongly depends on the alignment of the magnetization orientations of the electrodes and interlayer. The spin-related electron tunnelling between the ferromagnetic electrodes suffers a further spin selection induced by the spin-polarized states of the central organic ferromagnet. This work indicates an intriguing prospect of organic ferromagnets in spintronic devices, such as four-state magnetoresistance manipulated by a magnetic field.
