Spin-Polarized Photoelectrons from Optically Pumped p-CdSiAs2(100)

  • Conference paper
High Energy Spin Physics

Abstract

Starting from photothreshold (1.5 eV) the polarization of the photoyield emitted from cesiated p-CdSiAs (100) by circularly polarized light at normal incidence has been measured as function of photon energy. The transitions from the only spin-degenerate top valence band levels have been identified. The observed spin-polarization of the individual transitions is significantly less than the theoretically expected |P| = 100% which is attributed to shortcomings in the surface preparation of this ternary compound.
