Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied how useful physical properties of graphene are induced by substrates. In particular, we find that the spin-orbit interaction which is very small in the free standing graphene is enhanced in the graphene layer which is the nearest to the Ni substrate. As a result, the Rashba effect becomes large. This finding is useful for the spintronics application of graphene.
