Wolfgang Weber

Wolfgang Weber is a Professor at the University of Strasbourg, affiliated with the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials Strasbourg (IPCMS) and leading the Magnetic Objects on the NanoScale (DMONS) research group. He has held positions at prestigious institutions including IBM Rüschlikon and ETH Zürich prior to his current role.

Education:

• Diploma in Physics, University of Cologne (1988)
• PhD in Physics, RWTH Aachen (1992)

Research Interests: His work focuses on spin-polarized electron reflection, organic spinterfaces, and the development of protected spinterfaces using materials like copper to maintain molecular layer integrity. He explores spin-crossover molecules and nanospintronic devices, leveraging nanosphere lithography to create 300-nm-diameter nanojunctions for in-situ heterostructure studies.

Publications and Trends: His research spans 2013–2021, emphasizing spin polarization at metal-organic interfaces, interlayer exchange coupling, and molecular spin chains. These studies highlight advancements in room-temperature spintronic applications and the generic nature of spin-polarized interface states.

Laboratory and Collaborations: Weber's lab (IPCMS) investigates fundamental materials science properties of spinterfaces and their transposition into molecular nanospintronic devices. His team collaborates on projects involving molecular engineering and interface stability.
