We have measured the angular dependence of photoelectrons from epitaxially grown films of Ag(100) and Ag(111) for photon energies of 16.8, 21,2, and 26.9 eV. The data are analyzed by comparing the observed structure with peak locations predicted by direct optical bulk transitions using band-structure calculations by Christensen. Good agreement is obtained in most cases, but some discrepancies are seen in the lowenergy part of the spectra.
We present in this paper photoemission measurements on Ni and Fe which could partly be viewed as an extension of the measurements on nickel by Rowe and Tracy with A co & 5 eV and by Pierce and Spicer with &co & 11. 7 eV at temperatures below and above the Curie temperature. We use photon energies of 21.2 and 40.8 eV which give electron energy distributions which, in a more direct way, show the shifts expected from the early band model of ferromagnetism when the temperature is varied through the Curie temperature. Iron is included because the shifts should be larger than for nickel owing to the larger exchange splitting. However, no such energy shifts are detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
