In the field of spin-integrated photoemission experiments, major parts of the occupied electronic band structure are obtained in a short time by parallel detection of electrons with different energies and/or angles. Spin-polarizing electron mirrors (spin mirrors) are added to the experimental setups to obtain spin resolution [1,2]. The concept of these spin mirrors is based on the reflection of very-low-energy electrons from targets influenced by spin-orbit or exchange interaction.
In this work, Au(111) and single-layer MoS2/Au(111) are put to a test as scattering targets. Both are influenced by spin-orbit interaction and therefore, are possible candidates for the use as a spin mirror. Maps of the reflectivity, Sherman function and figure of merit are derived from spin-dependent very-low-energy electron reflection measurements for a wide range of incident electron polar and azimuthal angles and energies [3]. The targets are compared with respect to preparation procedure, target stability and efficiency.
