Abstract

We have calculated the spin polarization of electrons photoemitted by circularly polarized light from Au(110). Results for the spin polarization of the angular resolved photoyield are given for clean and contaminated surfaces for photon energies ℏΩ up to 10 eV. In addition we calculated the spectrum for energy resolved photoelectrons for ℏΩ = 8.5 eV. Our calculations demonstrate that from an analysis of the spin polarization of energy resolved photoelectrons detailed information on the electronic structure of solids follows.
