Abstract

The spin polarization of secondary electrons scattered from a permalloy material is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation of electron scattering based on the single scattering model. The simulation model takes into account not only the conduction-band polarization but also the inelastic mean free path depending on the electron spin. The calculated primary energy and incident angle dependences of the polarization of the secondary electrons show reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
