Abstract

Field-emitted electrons from EuS-coated W tips cooled to below 21 K show spin polarization of up to (89 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 7)%. The preferential direction of the magnetic moments of the electrons is parallel to the magnetization of the emitter. The high spin polarization is explained in terms of emission from spin-polarized $4{f}^{7}$ states of ferromagnetic EuS or in terms of emission assisted by interaction with these states.
