Spin-polarized low-energy (e, 2e) spectroscopy of non-magnetic surfaces

Abstract: For spin-polarized low-energy electrons impinging on non-magnetic crystalline surfaces, the collision with a valence electron and the ensuing emission of an electron pair are treated in a distorted-wave Born approximation formalism with exchange, in which the four relevant quasi-one-electron states are solutions of the Dirac equation. Numerical calculations for W(001), which were carried out in two coplanar geometries with normal and grazing incidence of a primary beam polarized normal to the reaction plane, s… Show more

“…Mirror reflection with respect to the E 1 − E 2 = 0 point transforms I + almost perfectly into I − and hence changes the sign of the difference spectrum. This is consistent with the theoretical prediction 17 and can be understood from the symmetry analysis of the experimental geometry (Fig. 1).…”

“…The origin of the spin-dependence in the ͑e ,2e͒ spectra, as pointed out, 17 is the spin-orbit coupling in at least one of the four relevant electron states: incident electron state, two outgoing electron states, and a valence electron state. The contribution of each of them to the observed spin-asymmetry can be revealed by a comparison of the measured spectra at different geometries with the appropriate calculations.…”
