Preparation and characterization of ultrathin Ni films on W(110): electronic structure and magnetism — •Henry Wortelen1, Anke B.

An effective way to study the electronic structure of the band ferromagnet nickel at the magnetic phase transition is to lower the Curie temperture by going from bulk samples to ultrathin films.

In this contribution, we present a comprehensive investigation of ultrathin nickel films grown on W(110), as the film thickness is reduced from 10 to 1 monolayer. A combined study with scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, magneto-optic Kerr effect, and spin-resolved inverse photoemission reveals the close relation between film thickness, morphology, electronic structure, and magnetism. Our results indicate changes in coercivity, spin asymmetry, and spectral intensity of surface states as a function of film thickness and quality.
