Surface magnetism: correlation of structural, electronic and chemical properties with magnetic behavior

This volume reviews on selected aspects related to surface magnetism, a fieldof extraordinary interest during the last decade. The special emphasis is setto the correlation of structural, electronic and magnetic properties in rare earth metal systems and ferromagnetic transition metals. This is made possibleby the combination of electron emission techniques (spin polarized photoelectron spectroscopy, magnetic dichroism in photoemission and spin polarized metastable deexcitation spectroscopy) and local probes with high lateral resolutiondown to the atomic scale (spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy / spectroscopy). Up-to-date review on surface magnetism focussing on rare-earth metal systems. INDICE: Introduction.- Experimental Aspects.- Structural and Electronic Properties of Rare Earth Metal Systems.- Influence of Adsorbates.- Magnetic Characterization.- Summary.
