Photoemission of spin-polarized electrons from GaAs
Abstract
The spin polarization of electrons photoemitted from (110) GaAs by irradiating with circlarly polarized light of energy $1.5<\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\omega}<3.6$ eV was measured by Mott scattering. The GaAs surface was treated with cesium and oxygen to obtain a negative electron affinity (NEA). The spectrum of spin polarization $P(\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\omega})$ exhibits a peak ($P=40%$) at threshold arising from transitions at $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ and positive ($P=8%$) and negative ($P=\ensuremath{-}8%$) peaks at 3.0 and 3.2 eV, respectively, arising from transitions at $L (\ensuremath{\Lambda})$. Anomalous behavior, consisting of a depolarization at threshold and an increase and shift in the peak polarization to 54% at 1.7 eV, is attributed to a small positive electron affinity (PEA) characteristic of some samples. Restriction of the photoelectron emission angle by the PEA leads directly to the anomalously high $P$. Results of calculations show that $P$ cannot be increased above 50% for emission arising from transitions at $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ in NEA GaAs. Our detailed interpretation of the spectra indicates how spin-polarized photoemission can be used to study the spin-dependent aspects of electronic structure. The outstanding qualities of NEA GaAs as a source of spin-polarized electrons are discussed and compared with other sources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
