Abstract
The use of spin-polarization analysis in electron spectroscopy of magnetic and non-magnetic surfaces is demonstrated with a few examples. The existence and properties of spin-dependent transmission of electrons through the solid-vacuum interface is shown. The influence of surface reconstruction of Pt(110) on spin polarization and energy distribution curves in photoemission with circularly polarized light is studied. The polarization of secondary electrons from Fe(110) is observed to depend on the spin polarization of primary electrons at low energies. The temperature dependence of the exchange splitting in Ni is studied by means of spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy and found to be at variance with the assumptions of the Stoner-Wohlfarth theory.
