| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Electron correlation effect on half-metallic ferromagnetic compounds is clarified using perturbational methods. In particular, the self-consistent T-matrix theory is applied to NiMnSb, which is a typical half-metallic compound, and it is found that the depolarization around the Fermi surface is mainly caused by the chemical potential shift. In addition, the mechanism of generation of peculiar edge/surface states such as the ones found on a zigzag edge of graphene is discussed and many examples where this kind of peculiar edge/surface states are generated are found.
