Surface and Interface Magnetism of Ultra-Thin Body-Centered-Tetragonal Fe(100)(1×1)/Pd(100) Films

  • Chapter

Abstract

Spin-polarized electron emission spectroscopy (SPEES) is used to study the surface and interface magnetic structure of 1–4 monolayers of bct Fe(100)p(1×1) films epitaxially deposited on clean and flat Pd(100) substrates. By varying the probing depth of SPEES from the topmost surface layer to deeper layers, we find that the average electron spin polarization (ESP) at the topmost surface layer amounts to 37%, an enhancement of 32% as compared to the ESP of bulk layers (28%). We find that Pd(MVV) Auger electrons emitted from the Fe/Pd interface are spin polarized, and that the ESP of these electrons is oriented parallel to that of Fe(MVV) Auger electrons.
