A. Kakizaki et al., FLUCTUATING LOCAL MAGNETIC-MOMENTS IN FERROMAGNETIC NI OBSERVED BY THE SPIN-RESOLVED RESONANT PHOTOEMISSION, Physical review letters, 72(17), 1994, pp. 2781-2784
We have measured the spin- and angle-resolved resonant photoemission s
pectra of ferromagnetic Ni(110) near the 3p threshold in the temperatu
re range from T/T(C)-0.5 to 1.05. The spin polarization of the 6 eV sa
tellite decreases with increasing temperature. The photon energy depen
dence of the spin polarization of the 6 eV satellite shows a dip profi
le near the 3p threshold, while its spectral feature remains unaltered
at elevated temperature. These results indicate the evidence of the f
luctuating local magnetic moments in ferromagnetic Ni.
