Abstract
Clear evidence of magnetic ordering at the Rh(100) surface has been obtaine d by measuring the linear magnetic dichroism in the angular distribution of the Rh-3d photoelectrons. The experiment is performed by reversing the ori entation of the magnetic moments using an external magnetic field and obser ving the difference in the core level line shape. Since the Rh-3d levels ex hibit a clearly resolved surface component, it is possible to associate the changes to magnetic ordering restricted to the surface layer.
