Low dimension effects are attracting more interest as they are becoming more relevant for future applications. In particular ultra thin Ni or Fe films are suitable model systems for nanostructured magnetic devices.
Using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) we measured quantum well states/resonances in the close vicinity to the Fermi energy along high symmetry directions and the Fermi surface of the Fe/W(110) and Ni/W(110) films. In Fe/W(110) we find minority quantum well states, which are highly anisotropic in their dispersion due to the rather weak structural anisotropy of the bcc (110) crystal surface. Due to hybridisation effects of the measured quantum well states in Ni/W(110), the origin of the apparent splitting remains to be discussed.
