| Description | - Developed molecular materials which displays magnetic couplings up to 100K. This is one order of magnitude higher than previous results on similar materials. - Developed films of materials whose magnetic properties can be switched using light. - Correlate observations on the molecular level (using scanning tunnelling microscopy) with those on flexible continuous films. |
| Exploitation Route | Develop strategies to further increase magnetic strength in moelcular materials. Use molecular materials for spintronic applications. |

| Impact | MatSEEC is an ESF Temporary Expert Committee in the remit of and associated with the ESF Standing Committee for Physical and Engineering Sciences (PEN (formerly PESC)) with a task related term of 5 years starting on the date of its inauguration meeting. The mission shall include delivering foresight reports and scientific advice to PEN (formerly PESC) and ESF on issues related to Materials Science and Engineering and matters of concern to the related scientific communities, as well as to European National Agencies and Ministries, institutions of the European Commission, and the European Strategic Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) upon request. The mission also included tasks related to peer-review and assessment of scientific research proposals. Further the Committee provided foresight surveys and scientific advice to ESF member organisations and European organisations. The Committee prepared strategic policy documents. |
