Our results, obtained with state-of-the-art non-equilibrium transport methods combined with density functional theory, demonstrate that spin configuration-specific negative differential resistances (NDRs) appear in the I-V curves. These originate from the interplay between electron localization and the re-hybridization of the molecular levels in an external electric field and allow the detection of the molecule's spin-state.8 pages, 8 figures, 2 page supplementary materialMaterials ScienceMagnetic state electrical readout of Mn12 moleculestext
