Experimental/theoretical comparison of spin-polarized low energy electron diffraction from the Cu(100) surface
- 1. Departments of Physics and of Space Physics and Astronomy, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77251
Description
A detailed theoretical/experimental spin-polarized low energy electron diffraction (SPLEED) investigation of Cu(100) is under way to explore the utility of SPLEED measurements in structure determinations for surfaces of low atomic number. Preliminary SPLEED calculations show that, in certain energy ranges, the results are very sensitive to the assumed structural model. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained using the surface model, which incorporates multilayer relaxation, that was derived from analysis of earlier LEED intensity data. Work is continuing to refine this model by use of SPLEED data
