Abstract

We observe electron spin polarization in photoemission from nickel, undetected in earlier experimental investigations. The saturation electron spin polarization for films prepared on hot substrates is higher than for films on cold substrates and the preferential direction of the magnetic moment is parallel to the magnetization even for electrons excited from energy states near the Fermi level.
