      abstract     = {The discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) in 1988 laid
                      the foundation to a whole new and very active research field
                      – Spinelectronics or Spintronics – which strives to
                      exploit the electron spin and electron spin currents as the
                      basic carriers for the device functionality and information
                      transfer in electronic devices. The pioneering work of Peter
                      Grünberg (IFF) and Albert Fert (Université Paris-Sud),
                      changed our view of the role of the electron spin in
                      electrical transport and has been honored by the 2007 Nobel
                      Prize in Physics, partly also because of its enormous
                      technological and economical impact. Only 10 years after the
                      discovery of the effect in the laboratory, GMR-based hard
                      disk read heads hit the market as first generation
                      spintronic devices and revolutionized the magnetic mass
                      storage industry. Since its advent 20 years ago, Spintronics
                      continues to provide us with a wide variety of
                      spin-dependent transport and transfer processes, novel
                      materials, phenomena and concepts, and many open questions
                      and challenges. The emphasis in current spintronics research
                      is threefold: $\bullet$ First, it aims to achieve a control
                      of and the ability to manipulate spin transport on very
                      small length scales down to the level of single spins, which
                      will open a pathway to quantum information applications.
                      This control also includes the active switching of the
                      magnetization by means of spin-polarized currents. $\bullet$
                      Second, in order to obtain the best of both worlds
                      spinelectronics may be combined with advanced semiconductor
                      nanoelectronics. A crucial step in this direction is the
                      realization of an efficient electrical spin-injection into
                      semiconductors. $\bullet$ Third, the next generation of
                      spintronic devices should combine passive and active
                      functionalities, thereby enabling magnetologic circuits and
                      even magnetoprocessors. On the way to meet these challenges
                      many fundamental questions have to be solved and many new
                      materals and materials combinations will be developed and
                      explored. Among others this concerns the microscopic
                      interactions and mechanisms leading to spin dephasing, the
                      manipulation of spins by spin-orbit interactions, the
                      understanding of spin transfer torque mechanisms, and the
                      utilization of the spin Hall effect. On the material side,
                      dilute magnetic semiconductors, highly spin-polarized oxides
                      and half-metals, but also graphene and multiferroics are
                      currently in the focus of interest. [...]},
