Today, the most efficient spin-polarization detectors are based on low-energy scattering from oxygen-passivated Fe(001) targets. They combine long-term stability with a high figure of merit [1,2]. The working points have been described at the spin asymmetry maxima at energies between 6 eV and 13.5 eV and scattering angles between 12 and 15 degrees. We performed reflection and absorption measurements for Fe(001)-p(1x1)-O over a wide range of scattering angles and energies. We compare spin-asymmetry maps for absorption and reflection with theoretical data in view of application in spin-polarization detectors.
