Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interfaces, superlattices, and ultra-thin films consisting of different correlated electron materials have attracted intensive interest in recent years because of their novel physical properties that are not present in the constituent materials. However, because their volumes are tiny compared to the volumes of the samples, conventional measurements of the physical properties are difficult or impossible. On the other hand, spectroscopic measurements using synchrotron radiation in the soft x-ray region are powerful tools because of their probing depths on the nanometer scale. In the present project, we have developed a measurement system in which the light polarization and the applied magnetic field direction can be varied independently. By combining this system with our in-situ photoemission measurement system, we have successfully observed novel metal-insulator transitions, quantized levels, and magnetic anisotropies of oxide interfaces, superlattices, and ultra-thin films.
