Visualizing spin-dependent electronic collisions in ferromagnets
Physical Review Letters 85, pp 1746-1749 (2000)
This work demonstrates experimentally and theoretically that the coincident two-electron emission from a ferromagnetic surface, upon the impact of a polarized electron, carries detailed information on the spin dependent electronic collisions in ferromagnets. The analysis of the calculated and the measured two-electron spectra reveals the potential of the electron-pair emission technique for the study of (a) surface magnetism and (b) spin dependent electron scattering dynamics in ferromagnets.
