| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
At the surface of the materials and at the interface of different materials, they show properties different from ordinary bulk materials, the electronic state which can be used for spintronics applications. In this study, we have investigated the electronic state at the surface and interface of oxides material which abundantly present on Earth and the interface of graphene and oxide. As a result, we found that an effective magnetic field is generated by the internal electric field characterized by electric polarization at the interface between oxide and other substances. This property is expected to be applied not only for spin electronics but also for thermoelectric effect that converts thermal energy into electric energy.
