The development of SPLEED (Spin-Polarized Low-Energy Electron Diffraction) as a surface-sensitive method has been pushed dramatically in theory as well as in experiment during the last decades. In particular, it is a very important tool for the study of the geometry of crystal surfaces as well as the surface potential barrier. Within the development of a multichannel-vector-spin polarimeter at BESSY various sensor materials have been investigated. Starting from this we perform fully relativistic SPLEED calculations using the SPRKKR package to investigate the resulting spin-dependent reflectivity in dependence on the energy and the scattering angles (polar and azimuthal). We present SPLEED calculations for various materials (W(001), Fe(001), Fe(001) p(1x1) O) and show their characteristics in view of reflectivity, asymmetry and the figure of merit. A comparison between experiment and theory will be made. Funded by BMBF (05K13UM1, 05K13WMA).
