Abstract
We observed that the photoemission intensity from solids may depend explicitly on the spin state of the photoexcited electrons. This new phenomenon is explained by spin-dependent transmission through the surface of solids with nonvanishing spin-orbit coupling. It is demonstrated for photoemission from Pt(111) with elliptically polarized synchrotron radiation.Keywords
