Abstract

The first structural determination with spin-polarized, energy-dependent photoelectron diffraction using circularly-polarized X-rays is reported for Fe films on Cu(001). Circularly-polarized X-rays produce spinpolarized photoelectrons from the Fe 2p doublet, and intensity asymmetries in the 2p 3 2 level are observed. Fully spin-specific multiple scattering calculations reproduce the experimentally-determined energy and angular dependences. A new analytical procedure which focuses upon intensity variations due to spindependent diffraction is introduced.
