Abstract

We present data from low-energy He+ ion scattering off a magnetized Fe(110) surface where we monitored the circular polarization of the light emitted from particles neutralized into excited states. We investigated the dependence on incident energy, incident angle and magnetization for a singlet and a triplet transition. As expected, there is no dependence on magnetization for the singlet state, but for the triplet transition we observed a difference in the circular polarization of as high as 32% when changing the direction of the magnetization.
