Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spintronics is attracting significant attention as one way of next-generation electronics. In particular, spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is key for creation of various physical phenomena and its device application. Materials with SOI can also become topological insulator (TI). On the other hand, two-dimensional (2D) mono-atomic layer ”graphene” consists of small-mass atom, carbon. Thus, it is difficult to introduce SOI and TI. In the present study, I have decorated graphene surface with large-mass atom particles (platinum (Pt) and bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)) with small amount and introduced SOI (or spin Hall effect) into graphene with 10 meV order. Moreover, I have found unique integer fraction in quantum resistance of Bi2Te3-decorated graphene, which can be associated with 2D TI, by observing non-local resistance. The mechanism is still under investigation.
