Abstract
The electronic structure of strained and unstrained Gd(0001) surfaces has been studied both theoretically and experimentally with spin-polarized photoemission spectroscopy and spin-polarized inverse photoemission spectroscopy. Good agreement between calculated surface bands and surface-induced features of the spectra provides the basis for a more detailed explanation of the origin of the spin-polarized bands than was previously possible. It has been found that observed relaxation of the expansively strained in-plane crystal lattice constant, of Gd(0001) on Mo(112), significantly affects the electronic structure of the surface.
