TWO-DIMENSIONAL CIRCULARLY-POLARIZED-LIGHT PHOTOELECTRON DIFFRACTION FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MAGNETIC AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES ON SURFACES
Circular dichroism has been measured in the photoelectron diffraction of bulk W 4f photoelectrons from the W(110)(1×1) clean surface. The forward focusing peaks along the symmetric axis in the diffraction pattern showed an azimuthal rotation similar to those reported in a prior experiment on Si(001) and chemically shifted W 4f photoelectrons from the W(110)(1×1)-O surface. The emission angle dependence of the rotation angles has been measured and analyzed for the first time and the angles observed are in good agreement with those calculated using the formula Δ ϕ=m/kR sin 2θ derived previously by Daimon et al. [Jpn. J. Phys.32, L1480 (1993)] considering the angular dependence of m. This property gives a basis for the analysis of structure or various magnetic and electronic properties on surfaces.
