REPORT


d Laboratoire Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques, Université Paris-Diderot, France; email [email protected]. Barraud is an assistant professor at the Université Paris Diderot. He completed his PhD degree from University Pierre and Marie Curie on molecular spintronics within the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales in 2011. He spent his postdoctoral period at ETH Zürich in Ensslin’s group, where he studied mesoscopic transport in graphene. His current research at the Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques laboratory focuses on the study of spin transport through functional molecules. Peter Bobbert Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands; email [email protected]. Bobbert is an associate professor at Eindhoven University of Technology. He received his master’s degree in physics (1984) and PhD degree (1988) from Leiden University. After a fellowship from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences at Delft University, where he worked on quantum phase transitions, he joined Eindhoven University of Technology in 1991. His research involves various theoretical aspects of organic electronics, including organic spintronics. Jens Brede Institute of Applied Physics and Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center Hamburg, University of Hamburg, Germany; email [email protected]. Brede is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg. He received his PhD degree in 2011 studying organic molecules interacting with ferromagnetic surfaces by means of spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. He led the molecular spintronics activities in Roland Wiesendanger’s research group from November 2011 to December 2013. Alek V. Dediu Institute of Nanostructured Materials, CNRISMN, Italy; email [email protected]. Dediu is leader of the spintronics group at the Institute of Nanostructured Materials, Italian National Council of Research. He received a diploma in experimental physics in 1982 and his PhD degree on superconductivity in 1989 from the Moscow Physical-Engineering University. In 2000–2002, he pioneered first experimental studies on organic spintronics. His research interests include organic spintronics, interface physics, oxide magnetism, memristive properties in complex materials and hybrid interfaces, and nanomagnetism for medical applications.
