Spin - resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of Fe 3 O 4 q
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spin-polarized photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to study the candidate half metal Fe3O4. By using higher photon energies we can study polarization in ‘‘as received’’ samples, essentially ‘‘looking through’’ the disrupted surface. Our data agree with theoretical calculations for Fe3O4 but exhibit a lowered polarization. ! 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Spin resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of Fe(3)O(4): the case against half-metallicity.
Many materials have been theoretically predicted to be half-metallic, and hence suitable for use as pure spin sources in spintronic devices. Yet to date, remarkably few of these predictions have been experimentally verified. We have used spin polarized photoelectron spectroscopy to study one candidate half-metallic system, Fe(3)O(4). Such experiments are normally hampered by difficulties in pro...

Electronic and structural properties of ultrathin MgO layers grown on epi-taxial Fe(110) films were investigated at room temperature by means of spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger-electron spectroscopy, and low energy electron diffraction. The spin polarization at the Fermi level of the Fe(110) film decreases abruptly with increasing thickness of MgO layer up to 7 ˚ A. This behavio...
متن کاملCommunication: Direct evidence for sequential dissociation of gas-phase Fe(CO)5 via a singlet pathway upon excitation at 266 nm.
We prove the hitherto hypothesized sequential dissociation of Fe(CO)5 in the gas phase upon photoexcitation at 266 nm via a singlet pathway with time-resolved valence and core-level photoelectron spectroscopy with an x-ray free-electron laser. Valence photoelectron spectra are used to identify free CO molecules and to determine the time constants of stepwise dissociation to Fe(CO)4 within the t...
متن کاملSpin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of the MgO/Fe(110) system
The surface structure and electronic properties of ultrathin MgO layers grown on epitaxial Fe(110) films were investigated at room temperature by means of electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The spin polarization at the Fermi level (EF) of the Fe(110) film decreases sharply with increasing thickness of t...
متن کاملEnhanced removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution using polypyrrole/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite.
Fe(3)O(4) coated polypyrrole (PPy) magnetic nanocomposite was prepared via in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer for the removal of highly toxic Cr(VI). Structure and morphology of the prepared nanocomposite were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) an...
