| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transition-metal oxides exhibit various functional properties not found in ordinary semiconductors. In recent years, with the rapid development of oxide-thin film growth technique, it has become possible to fabricate high-quality thin films and heterostructures. The atomic level control of surfaces and interfaces reveals a variety of novel physical properties and functionalities.
To investigate the origins of such functional properties on an atomic scale, we developed a scanning tunneling microscope combined with a pulsed-laser deposition system, and studied the atomic and electronic structures of the surfaces of the transition-metal oxide films.
