| Research Abstract |
We carried out theoretical design of efficient spin sources on the basis of first-principles calculations in order to improve the output of magnetoresistive devices with use of highly spin-polarized materials (half metals) or perpendicularly magnetized materials and to improve the efficiency of spin injection into semiconductors. We successfully proposed the hetero-junctions which preserve high spin polarization even at the interfaces between half metals and non-magnetic materials. We elucidated the effects of atomic disorder or thermal fluctuation of spin configurations on spin-dependent transport properties. We also investigated the modulation of magnetic anisotropy by external electric field.
