Heusler compounds are of the general formula X2YZ. X and Y are usually transition metals and Z is either a non-magnetic metal or a non-metal. The crystal structure of a Heusler is marked by four interpreting fcc-lattices. Certain Heusler like Co2FeSi have been theoretically predicted to be half-metallic ferromagnets. The high spin polarization at the Fermi level in combination with a high Curie temperature makes those materials promising candidates for applications in spintronics. Because of the difficult surface preparation and a complex domain pattern in remanence a direct experimental prove of half-metallicity e.g. by spin-resolved photoemission is still missing. A new spin-resolved photoemission electron microscope (S-PEEM) at BESSY helps to overcome at least one of this problem since it combines spatial resolution with spin analysis. The S-PEEM at the UE49 microfocus beamline is based on a commercial Elmitec PEEM with integrated energy analyzer, additionally equipped with two Mott polarimeter for spin analysis. Thus it allows to record spin resolved photoemission spectra from selected area e.g. a single magnetic domain. In this poster we present spin-resolved photoemission measurements from selected magnetic domains of a Co2FeSi single crystal.
