Abstract
The reflection coefficient in very-low-energy spin polarized electron reflection from magnetized Fe(001) has been investigated in the energy range 0<E<23 eV. A peak in the asymmetry of 21% is observed atE=10.6 eV with a mean reflection coefficient ≈0.1. This effect provides a new spin detector with a more than 20 times larger efficiency than with other spin detectors.
