摘要
After a brief summary of the fundamentals, the possibilities and limitations of spin-polarized low energy electron microscopy and its application is illustrated with examples from recent work. These range from fundamental problems such as the determination of the exchange-split excited state band structure to problems of more practical interest such as the evolution of interlayer coupling with film thickness.
