Abstract
We have found that the intensity and polarization of secondary electrons emitted from Au/Fe(110) oscillate periodically as a function of the Au film thickness. The periods of both oscillations are 15 Å, but they have opposite polarities. This result can be attributed to confined energy states in the Au film.Keywords
