摘要
We present a model calculation for the temperature-dependent behaviour of surface states on a ferromagnetic local-moment film. The film is described within the s-f model featuring local magnetic moments being exchange coupled to the itinerant conduction electrons. The surface states are generated by modifying the hopping in the vicinity of the surface of the film. In the calculation for the temperature-dependent behaviour of the surface states we are able to reproduce both Stoner-like and spin-mixing behaviour in agreement with recent (inverse) photoemission data on the temperature-dependent behaviour of a Gd(0001) surface state.
