Spin polarization and temperature effects in reflection diffraction from W(001)

  • 1. School of Physics, University of New South Wales, Kensington, New South Wales 2033, Australia

Description

Simultaneous low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and electron-spin polarization measurements have been made on clean W(001) for the first time at a high angle of incidence (47.50) wih a surface azimuth of 500. Polarization peaks ranging from +15% to -27% have been observed and occur at energies where the LEED intensities are close to a minimum. After a cleaning flash, effects ascribed to specimen cooling caused changes with time in LEED intensities but not in spin polarization. Reasons are discussed
