project part within module 6 "Spintronics" of the European graphene flagship. Abstract of Module 6 "Spintronics"

The main goal of the group “Spintronics” is an establishment of the ultimate potential of graphene for spintronics, targeting efficient room temperature spin injection and detection but also spin gating and spin manipulation in graphene spintronic devices. Spin transport mechanisms in graphene devices will be explored using different materials, and by comparing the results with realistic theoretical simulations, the group works towards the demonstration of novel types of functional graphene spintronic devices.
