摘要
We report on magnetic phenomena exhibited by iron islands on W(110) which have been obtained by evaporating iron at room temperature onto a W(110) surface and finally annealing to about 1000 K. This phase transition from thin films to islands has been studied with LEED and soft-x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By virtue of magnetic linear (MLDAD) and circular dichroism (MCDAD) in photoemission, we investigate the magnetic behaviour of both the iron films and the islands. Iron islands exhibit a different easy-magnetization direction as compared to thin iron films.
