We discuss the present status and future potential of spin-resolved hard X-ray photoemission (HAXPES). Recently, deeply buried CoFe layers have been studied at the BL09XU end station of SPring-8, Japan, using a large hemispherical analyzer (Scienta R-4000) and a single-channel SPLEED-type polarimeter [1]. The excitation energy of 6 keV assures significantly enhanced probing depth to access buried layers. A spin polarization of about 20% is retained during transmission of the photoelectrons emitted from the Fe 2p3/2 state through a 3-nm-thick oxide capping layer. Single-channel spin detection suffers from the low figure of merit, thus for future measurements in the valence region a multichannel spin detector is indispensable.
Therefore the Mainz group in cooperation with Univ. Wuerzburg (R. Claessen et al.) are developing a novel multichannel spin detector that will be implemented in the HAXPES endstation at PETRA III, Germany (equipped with a Specs Phoibos-225 analyzer). The status of the development is reported.
