Abstract

Mn core-level spectra of Mn/Au(001) and Mn/Pt(001) systems are investigated by using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. For the Mn/Au(001) system, large satellite structures which are very similar to those found previously in Mn/Cu(001) and Mn/Ag(001) systems, are also observed in the Mn 2p core level spectra. On the other hand, such large satellite structures are not observed in the case of the Mn/Pt(001) system. Considering the results of the structural analysis, these results indicate that the large satellite effect observed in Mn thin film systems is mainly related to the hybridization of Mn d electrons with the substrate, not to the effect of low-dimensionality as claimed in previous reports.
