Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In-situ experiments of high-precision films fabrication under ultra high vacuum and magnetic spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation were carried out in order to investigate atomic structures, magnetic and electronic states at the interfaces of layered structures composed of a graphene and a magnetic monolayer, whose layered structure is expected to be a candidate for spintronic materials. At the interface of Graphene/Fe/Ni(111) obtained by intercalation of Fe, ferromagnetic state with in-plane magnetization was observed in the Fe layers thinner than 2 monolayer, where local magnetic moments at Fe atomic site are lager than the case of Fe bulk crystal. Above 3 monolayers of Fe, however, magnetically dead sites were found in the layered structures, which indicate the thickness control of Fe in the thinnest region is crucial for existence of ferromagnetic interface that is a prerequisite of spin-injection to the graphene layer.
