MolSpin

Molecular Spintronics

is a new field of research that combines the ideas and concepts developed in spintronics with the possibilities offered by molecules to perform
electronic functions, to form self-organized nanostructures and to exhibit quantum effects.

It ultimate goal is the creation of new spintronic devices using molecular materials, or in the longer term one or a few molecules in the race
toward miniaturization.
To reach this goal a coordinated effort of the communities of Spintronics, Molecular Electronics and Molecular Magnetism is needed.

These communities are developing a very competitive and high-quality work in Europe in their respective fields. Still, Molecular Spintronics is so
new that an initiative to encourage networking of researchers in this field is of paramount importance.

The present COST ACTION intends to fill this gap integrating these communities around a common Action that should serve to consolidate the
world-leadership of Europe in this field.

SHORT TRAINING SCIENTIFIC MISSIONS

The STSMs budget has been exhausted. No further applications can be accepted.

OBJECTIVES
The aim of a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is to contribute to the scientific objectives of a COST Action. These Missions (Exchange Visits) are aimed at strengthening the existing network by allowing scientists to go to an institution or laboratory of any Action member in either another COST or a non-COST country member of the Action to foster collaboration, to learn a new technique or to take measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own institution/laboratory.
