Spin-Polarized Photoelectrons from Nickel Single Crystals

Eib, W., Alvarado, S. F.·1976·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Photoelectrons emitted from nickel single-crystal surfaces defined by low-energy-electron diffraction and Auger-electron-spectroscopy analysis exhibit negative electron-spin polarization at threshold. The abrupt change from negative to positive polarization occurs at $h\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\simeq}\ensuremath{\Phi}+0.05$ eV, where $\ensuremath{\Phi}$ is the work function. This excludes an interpretation based on a simple band theory of magnetism and also explains why the negative electron-spin polarization has not been observed in earlier experiments on polycrystalline films.

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.
