Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this work is the control of the optical properties of the ferromagnetic materials by electric field effect. In the first year, we have set up a measurement system and succeeded in depositing cobalt ultra-thin film on a commercially available glass substrate. In the second year, we have optimized the condition of the film deposition. Then, we have started measuring the electric field effect using the optical measurement system. As a result, we have observed clear change in the magnetic properties at room temperature. This suggests that the Faraday effect in cobalt thin film can be tuned by the electric field effect.
