Spin-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Fe₃O₄

Abstract

Spin-polarized photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to study the candidate half metal Fe3O4. By using higher photon energies we can study polarization in "as received" samples, essentially "looking through" the disrupted surface. Our data agree with theoretical calculations for Fe3O4 but exhibit a lowered polarization.
