Abstract
  
    
Recently the study of novel heterointerfaces between complex oxides has been  attractive  because  of  its
peculiar physical properties at the interface which are not shown in bulk properties. In the heterointerfaces
of perovskites LaAlO3/SrTiO3 with a polarity discontinuity, the n-type metallic behavior had been measured
experimentally at the interface, contrary to insulating properties of two bulk materials.  I  will  introduce  our
previous results for the charge compensation mechanisms in the early stage of  this  field  and  also  briefly
overview some of the recent issues. Furthermore,  our recent study of the Fe3O4/ BaTiO3 interface,  where
the effects of the charge imbalance, the strain, and the oxygen vacancies are important, will be  presented.
For overcoming the energy crisis, such as the fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) depletion and the global warming
by CO2, today, the renewable, alternative, and carbon-neutral energy systems are broadly  studied  in  the
world. Especially, the material-based research for  the energy  production,  storage,  and  conversion  are
very important. In the field of energy storage, as one of good candidates for hydrogen storage,  MgH2 has
been investigated, where the relevant defect species and their migration  barriers  have  been  determined.
In the field of energy conversion,  the thermoelectric p-type Bi  and  Sb  tellurides and  n-type  InGaZnO4  
oxides are investigated by the calculations of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity.
