Layer-dependent magnetization at the surface of a band-ferromagnet
arXiv:cond-mat/0107545 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.64.140405
Abstract
The temperature-dependence of the magnetization near the surface of a band-ferromagnet is measured with monolayer resolution. The simultaneous application of novel highly surface-sensitive techniques enables one to deduce the layer-dependent magnetization curves at a Fe(100) surface. Analysis of data is based on a simple mean-field approach. Implications for modern theories of itinerant-electron ferromagnetism are discussed.
