Spin-dependent electron scattering from ferromagnetic films is interesting for two reasons: (i) A ferromagnetic film can be used as a promising scattering target in spin-polarization analyzers as single [1,2] and multichannel devices [3,4]. Ferromagnetic films offer a high Sherman function and an easy way to reverse the asymmetry. (ii) Electron scattering experiments provide information about the surface barrier, which is predicted to be spin-dependent for ferromagnets [5].
We investigate ferromagnetic Fe films with spin-resolved very-low-energy electron diffraction by varying the electron kinetic energy and the incident polar as well as azimuthal angle over a wide range. In the focus of this work are two targets: (i) p(1x1)O-Fe(001)/MgO(001) and (ii) Fe(110)/W(110).
