Surface Magnetism: Correlation of Structural, Electronic and Chemical Properties with Magnetic Behavior
By Mathias Getzlaff,
Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642141889 | 162 pages | PDF | 6,7 MB
This volume reviews on selected aspects related to surface magnetism, a field of extraordinary interest during the last decade. The special emphasis is set to the correlation of structural, electronic and magnetic properties in rare earth metal systems and ferromagnetic transition metals. This is made possible by the combination of electron emission techniques (spin polarized photoelectron spectroscopy, magnetic dichroism in photoemission and spin polarized metastable deexcitation spectroscopy) and local probes with high lateral resolution down to the atomic scale (spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy / spectroscopy).
This book is intended to give an introduction and a comprehensive overview
concerning the main areas of surface magnetism with special emphasis on rare
earth metals.
Investigations in this field require experimental techniques which are sensitive to the topmost layers on the one hand and simultaneously to magnetic properties on the other hand. Using additionally tools with a high lateral resolution the
visualization of magnetic domains becomes possible.
The understanding of magnetic and electronic behavior requires the knowledge ofthe structure on a microscopic scale. Due to this important relationship the dependence
of electronic on structural properties is the first topic. This contains investigations
not only on rare earth metals but additionally on 3d ferromagnetic systems.
It is important to keep in mind that the chemical behavior of a surface determines
the surface electronic properties. Thus, variations, e.g. due to adsorbate
atoms, have a significant influence. This aspect will be focused on as the next topic with the description of selected substrate layers which were exposed to different types of gaseous molecules.
Investigations on the surface magnetism of itinerant ferromagnetic materials,
including the influence of adsorbates on surface magnetic properties, and magnets with localized moments is the final and main topic of this volume. It will end with the realization of laterally resolved spin polarized vacuum tunneling which enables to image magnetic domains on the nanometer scale.
