Abstract
There is broad consensus that magnetite (Fe3O4) is a promising material for spintronics applications due to its high degree of spin polarization at the Fermi level. However, previous attempts to measure the spin polarization by spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy have been hampered by the use of low photon energies resulting in high surface sensitivity. The surfaces of magnetite, though, tend to reconstruct due to their polar nature, and thus their magnetic and electronic properties may strongly deviate from each other and from the bulk, dependent on their orientation and specific preparation. In this study, we determine the intrinsic-i.e., bulk-spin polarization of magnetite by spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on (111)-oriented thin films, epitaxially grown on ZnO(0001), with hard x-rays, making it a truly bulk-sensitive probe. This becomes possible by using a novel, specially adapted momentum microscope, featuring time-of-flight energy recording and an imaging spin-filter.
