Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A programme of k-resolved inverse photoemission (KRIPES) studies is proposed to investigate the unoccupied state electronic structure of magnetic transition metals and alloys, and of adsorbate-induced effects at metal surfaces; the studies of the magnetic materials will also be complemented by selected spin-resolved KRIPES measurements. The magnetic materials of interest include noble metals with magnetic impurities (eg CuMn), which show 'spin glass' properties, and metallic alloys showing coupling of magnetic and compositional order including 'strong' (eg Ni-Fe) and 'weak' ferromagnets (eg Fe-V); this work will be closely coupled to theoretical calculations by JBS. The main surface studies will be on adsorbate-induced reconstruction (eg Cu(100)/0, Cu(110)/N, Ni(110)/N with a view to extending our understanding of the electronic mechanisms underlying such reconstructions, but may also involve studies of molecular adsorbate bonding structure.
