Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Two dimensional island growth was observed in CFO film for 30 min deposition. The LFO film showed triangle grains and two dimensional step-terraces structure between the grains. The thickness of the LFO was 66 units. The thickness of CFO3 was and CFO was 3.8 units and 45 units. Two dimensional layer growth was observed in LFO/CFO multilayer. Scanning probe microscopy showed 0.4 nm step height, which is corresponding to the unit step of LFO. Fitting XRR spectrum, CFO3, CFO2.5 and LFO grew with thickness of 2.6, 0.71 and 25 units. The CFO less than 1 units was successfully obtained.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
CFO3/LFO積層膜が開発中の様々な次世代メモリと比較して、動作原理・消費電力・集積密度・耐久性すべてにおいて飛躍的に性能が優れた不揮発性メモリとなることを早期に予期して研究に着手した。積層膜という単純な構造「積層膜界面を介して電子移動」「電流では無く結晶内で数Åだけ電子を移動」させるだけで磁気秩序を相転移させることができ、メモリ応用に結びつけたアイディアは、学術的意義が高く、極めてオリジナリティも高い。本研究では、実際にCFO3/LFOを作製し、反強磁性-強磁性相転移が起こるであろう積層構造を作製した点において学術的・社会的意義が高いといえる。
