A novel spectrometer for spin-polarized electron energy-loss spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
By making use of advanced methods for the calculation of electron trajectories in the presence of space charge fields we have designed and built a novel electron energy-loss spectrometer for the purpose of measuring spin flip excitations at surfaces. The measurement of the spin asymmetry requires a deflection angle between the photocathode and the sample position which amounts to 90° in total. That deflection angle is not provided by standard electron deflectors, or by a combination of those. We show that a 90° deflection angle can be realized by a combination of two novel deflectors with 90° and 180° deflection angles each. The performance of the new spectrometer matches the performance of the best electron spectrometers developed for surface vibration spectroscopy. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1597954#

Ion-induced emission of spin-polarized electrons to study surface magnetism
A novel technique, ion-induced, angleand energy-resolved, spin-polarized electron emission spectroscopy (SPEES) has been used to probe the electron spin polarization (ESP) at the surface of Ni(110) picture-frame single crystals which are well characterized using AES, LEED, RHEED and STM. The energy distribution of the emitted electrons (0-70eV), which includes spin-polarized Auger electrons, is...

متن کاملSpin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin fcc Co films on Cu(001).
The realm of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin films and at surfaces is unexplored because a suitable method was not available up to now. We present experimental data for an 8 ML thick Co film deposited on Cu(001) which show that spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy can be used to measure spin-wave dispersion curves of ultrathin ferromagnetic films up to the sur...

In this article, the second quantization method has been used to investigate some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized metallic nanowire in the presence of magnetic field at zero temperature. We have been observed that in different magnetic field, the equilibrium energy of system increases as the density increases. The spin-polarization parameter corresponding to the equilibrium state of ...
