A normal emission photoerlectron spectrum of Ni(110) in the valence
band region and its spin polarization measured at
the photon energy of 67.2eV, where the 6eV valence band satellite is
known to be resonantly enhanced.
Spin polarization of the valence band decreases as the binding energy
decreases and exhibits a negative maximum at the Fermi level,
which corresponds to the increase of the minority spin
(negative polarization) states at the lower binding energy region.
Above the Fermi level only the negative spin states exist in Ni.
Spin polarization of the 6eV satellite shows a positive value,
which corresponds to the fact that the satellite has its origin in the
many electron effects induced by the 3p core electron excitation
followed by a super-Coster-Kronig decay process.
