Using a spin-polarized metastable helium beam, a group headed by Dr. Shiro Entani, who is a limited-term researcher at the Advanced Science Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (President: Shojiro Matsuura) and Dr. Yasushi Yamauchi, a Group Leader in the Nano Characterization Unit, National Institute for Materials Science (President: Sukekatsu Ushioda) succeeded in detecting the electronic spin state of only the graphene contacted to a magnetic metal in devices.
