Abstract:

The magnetic field dependence (hysteresis curve) and the temperature dependence of the magnetization at a Ni(110) surface was measured by polarized low-energy electron diffraction. The diffracted intensities are spin dependent by a few percent. The temperature dependence of the surface magnetization measured in the range 0.5<T/Tc<0.8, is significantly different from that of the bulk.
