Abstract

The valence bands and core levels of ultrathin Fe layers deposited on a Cr(100) surface at room temperature are studied by ARPES, UPS and XPS. Transitions from Fe minority and majority spin bands are still observed for coverages of about 1 monolayer, showing that Fe retains its magnetic ground state; the persistence of the magnetic satellite in the Fe 3s core levels also supports this conclusion. These studies agree with theoretical calculations which predict an enhanced magnetic moment for ultrathin Fe layers on Cr(100).
