Valence band photoemission Ni_xPd_1−x alloy films on Cu₃Au(100) — •Matthias Gulik^1,2, Lukasz Plucinski¹, and Claus M.

Spin and angle-resolved photoemission are important experimental methods to investigate the electronic band structure of crystalline materials. Spin-integrated measurements can be performed relatively fast with a high energy and momentum resolution, whereas spin-resolved measurements reveal further information about the band structure.

On the compound of Ni_xPd_1−x/Cu₃Au(100) we will investigate the electronic and magnetic properties with regard to the thickness and the composition of the ultrathin Ni_xPd_1−x layer. The composition differences should be reflected in an inverse spin-reorientation transition. Furthermore we will compare the measured spectra to the theoretical calculations of the band structure.

The measurement takes place at Beamline 5 at DELTA, Dortmund, with an unique detector setup. We can acquire 2-dimensional angle resolved data for band mapping and spin resolved one-dimensional data quasi-simultaneously. This will provide us with high resolution band structure spectra and images as well as spin resolved valence band spectra. Our samples are prepared in-situ by e-beam evaporation and characterized by LEED and Auger spectroscopy.
