Abstract
Investigations concerning the magnetic interactions of oxygen with thi n cobalt films evaporated on W(110) were carried out by spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy; in particular modifications of surface mag netism depending on the chemical state were determined. The formation of different oxidation states at various substrate temperatures and th e coexistence of chemisorbed oxygen and antiferromagnetic CoO near the surface could be impressively demonstrated. The measurements indicate 'magnetically live' adsorbate layers at the surface revealing an indu ced magnetic moment of the chemisorbed oxygen atoms.
