Abstract
dc:descriptionThe aim of this thesis has been to determine the electronic structure atinterfaces between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic layers, in paramagneticoverlayers on ferromagnetic substrates, and of ferromagnetic bulk-likelayers itself. Especially, in these layer systems we were interested inhow the electronic structure is modified (a) by the spin-orbit coupling and (b) by a reduced spatial dimensionality. The electronic structure has been studied by means of angle-resolved andspin-resolved valence-band photoemission spectroscopy. The influence of the spin-orbit coupling has been studied with the linearand the circular magnetic dichroism of valence-band photoemission spectroscopy.The experiments have been supported by analytical and numerical calculations. - At ferromagnetic bulk-like Iron and Nickel layers it is shown how the linear magnetic dichroism is caused by spin-orbit coupling inducedhybridization. On this basis it was possible to derive detail informationabout the spin-orbit coupling in these systems. - The spin-orbit coupling in interface states has been investigated with the circular magnetic dichroism in perpendicular magnetized Palladiumand Copper overlayers on Cobalt substrate layers. The influence of a reduced spatial dimensionality has been studied in Copperoverlayers of a few atomic layers on various ferromagnetic substrate layers.The first think one observes, the electronic states located in these Copperlayers are two-dimensional. Additionally, on homogeneous ferromagnetic substrate layers it is shown how Iron, Cobalt,and Nickel as well as their roughness and thickness determine the behaviorof the two-dimensional electronic states.- With additional layers at the interfaces, i.e. in heterogeneous ferromagneticsubstrates, it is then possible to tailor the behavior of these states.
