Abstract
We have found that photoelectrons from ferromagnetic gadolinium show spin polarization, the preferential direction of the magnetic moment being parallel to the magnetization of the sample. Our experiment yields a degree of polarization . did not vary significantly over the energy range from 2.8 to 5.0 eV of the incident light.
